Plant description

brachyscome pacific coast 001

brachyscome pacific coast 002

This new brachyscome has large pink flowers that are much fuller and more showy than most brachyscomes. It also has a compact growth habit and nice divided foliage. It suckers lightly from the root system which gives it the ability to regenerate after environmental stress such as dry or very cold conditions. It also means it can be easily divided to increase plant numbers if you want to turn it into a feature along the borders of garden beds. It is superb as a pot or rockery plant as it flowers for months at a time.
