Brachyscome multifida (Cut-Leaf Daisy) is a compact, perennial Australian native plant known for its fine, deeply divided foliage and abundant daisy-like flowers. It forms low, spreading mounds of soft green leaves that create an attractive ground-hugging habit, making it ideal for adding colour and texture to garden beds, borders, and rockeries. The plant is highly valued for its long flowering period and ability to produce masses of small, bright blooms. The flowers are typically purple to lilac with a yellow centre, although some forms may appear white or pink. Flowering occurs mainly in spring through summer and can continue for extended periods under favourable conditions. Brachyscome multifida is drought tolerant once established and thrives in well-drained soils with full sun to partial shade. It is commonly used in native gardens, cottage-style plantings, and as a low-maintenance groundcover. Its extended flowering display and hardy nature make it a popular choice for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies while enhancing garden colour.
