HOW IT SPREADS
The seeds can be spread by water (and wind over short
distances). The seedlings can germinate along edges of
gardens and even cracks in concrete.
The plant can also be spread through the dumping of garden
waste.

Cut Leaf Daisy
Brachyscome multifida and cultivars
These delightful Australian
perennials come in a range of
colours such as yellow, pink,
mauve, pale and deep blue and
appear from late winter to
autumn.
With their delicate flowers and
soft feathery foliage, cut leaf
daisies are surprisingly hardy and
are an excellent feature in a
water-wise garden.
They thrive in full-sun and will
tolerate frost.
