Plant Brachyscome New Amethyst in fertile well drained soil in either beds or
containers. Most of the Brachyscome family is better suited to
container growing. Sites sheltered from high winds are recommended.
Fairly drought tolerant.

cutting. They are an excellent choice for hanging baskets. If Swan
River Daisies become
leggy... just cut them back for a spurt of new growth and flowers.
