Brachycome Seeds Brachycome may be half hardy annuals or perennials.

Plants reach about 15 inches (40 cm) in height and should be spaced at about 9 inches (22 cm); if you are using the plants as part of a lawn edging then space at 6 inches (15 cm) apart. They can be grown in full sunlight or partially shaded conditions, and can tolerate dry soils. Ideally the soil will be rich and deep, and slightly acidic (though these plants are known to grow well in soils of pH 5.5 to 8).

Blooms do not tend to last long, so prolong blooming time by deadheading, and sow out seeds every three to four weeks in order to maintain a continuous bloom in the garden.

Plants are sensitive to over-watering as they have small leaves. Brachyscome love light, and if growing in a container it is important to give then a constant supply of low level fertilizer. As plants do not perform well in salty soils, so test salt-soil levels regularly.

Some popular cultivars include ‘Blue Star’ and ‘Little Missy’. Another popular member of the genus is the Brachyscome augustifolia hybrid ‘Mauve Delight’.
