Description

Felicia amelloides is a very hardy, evergreen, perennial groundcover or shrublet with bright green foliage that bears masses of blue, daisy-like flowers almost all year round. 

It should be pruned back lightly after each flowering to encourage the next batch of flowers and to keep the plant compact and tidy. 

 It can be grown in either full sun or semi-shade in well-drained compost rich soil. It makes a good ‘filler in the garden. 

 Attracts butterflies and insects to the garden.
