The vibrant purple pink flower colour is a striking feature of this old favourite and very easy care brachyscome. It has a compact suckering growth habit which creates a dense carpet. Flowers mainly in spring, summer and autumn. A terrific groundcover, border plant and for container growing. Tolerates light frost, mild acid to alkaline soils. Can be grown in sun to part shade.
