Growing Guide & Production Protocols
Cultivation & Growing Guidelines
Brachyscome angustifolia, commonly known as ‘swan river daisy’, is part of the Asteraceae family and is prized for its delicate, daisy‑like blooms and soft, finely textured foliage. Thriving in full sun to light shade, well‑drained soil, and moderate fertility, Brachyscome provides continuous flowering with minimal care, making it ideal for patio pots, hanging baskets, and landscape borders that require a soft, airy touch of color throughout the season.
Remove from mist promptly, maintaining high light and warm temperatures for best flower‑to‑foliage ratio. pH 5.6–6.2, EC 0.8–1.0, feed 50 ppm N then 75–100 ppm N. Apply fungicide at sticking and week 2; Daminozide at 750 ppm may be applied if needed.
