Description
Felicia filifolia is an extremely hardy, evergreen, small shrub with fine, bright-green, aromatic, needle-like leaves.
It is a magnificent sight from July to September, when it is covered in such prolific mauve, daisy-type flowers that you cannot see the leaves. It can have some flowers on and off throughout the year. The flowers attract a whole host of insects to the garden.
It is also extremely drought-resistant. The gnarled stems can be used for firewood or even just for decoration.
Plant in full sun and prune back lightly after flowering.
