Brachyscome paludicola
Brachyscome paludicola, or Swamp Daisy, is a delicate, perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in wetlands, swampy areas, and along watercourses. Growing to a height of about 20–30 cm, it features fine, green foliage and produces charming, daisy-like flowers with white to pale purple petals and yellow centers, blooming throughout the warmer months.
Thriving in moist to waterlogged soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Swamp Daisy is well-suited for wetland rehabilitation, riparian planting, and water-sensitive garden designs. Its low-growing habit makes it an excellent groundcover, helping to stabilize soils and enhance biodiversity by attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
With its subtle beauty, adaptability, and ecological benefits, Brachyscome paludicola is a versatile choice for wetland restoration, native gardens, and sustainable landscaping projects.
