Swan River Daisy Seeds — Brachyscome iberidifolia

A Cloud of Colour From One of Australia's Most Beloved Daisies

If you want effortless charm and non-stop colour all summer long, Swan River Daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia) is your plant. Named after the Swan River in Western Australia where it was first collected, this delightful little annual produces a constant flush of small, scented daisy flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink, and white — each with a cheerful yellow centre. The plants are compact and mounding, absolutely smothering themselves in blooms, and they work beautifully at the front of a border, spilling from containers, or tucked into gaps where you want a soft, airy pop of colour.

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Swan River Daisy seeds are extremely fine and need light to germinate — do not cover them with compost. For easier, more even sowing, mix the seeds with a little dry silver sand before scattering across the surface of moist, fine seed-raising mix. Press gently to ensure good contact with the compost but don't bury them. Keep warm and moist at 18–22°C — seeds typically sprout in 10–21 days. Transplant seedlings into a sunny, open position with good drainage once all frost risk has passed, spacing plants 20–25 cm apart. Deadhead regularly to keep the flowers coming all season. These little daisies handle dry spells well once established — perfect for coastal and low-rainfall gardens.
