Jacaranda mimosifolia (Blue Jacaranda)

5 from 1 customers

Jacaranda mimosifolia, commonly known as the Blue Jacaranda tree, is a tropical-looking tree that is widely planted because of its beautiful and long-lasting blue flowers. Loose clusters of the deep blue-mauve flowers are borne across the tree through spring and summer. The dark green foliage has a fern-like appearance, and in warm climates, it remains evergreen; otherwise, it is deciduous. It typically grows to 12 m tall and 8 m wide. Jacaranda mimosifolia is commonly used in avenue plantings to provide an unforgettable sight, grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included in a ‘tropical’ garden.

What is a Blue Daisy Flower?

The term "blue daisy flower" commonly refers to the Felicia amelloides species, an evergreen perennial native to South Africa but perfectly suited to New Zealand conditions. Their delightful sky-blue petals with sunny yellow centres provide a true blue flower that's rare among garden plants. Compact and bushy, the blue daisy flower grows to about 30cm tall and spread, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. The popular Felicia Blue Jay (Blue Daisy) variety is especially valued for its intense blue blooms and resilience, making it a low-maintenance choice for flower beds, edges, and containers.

Planting and Caring for Blue Daisies

Blue daisy flowers are renowned for their hardiness and adaptability. They flourish best in a sunny spot—at least six hours of direct light each day. Choose well-drained soil and avoid waterlogging, especially during the cooler months. Regular deadheading prolongs flowering and keeps plants looking tidy. Every couple of years, it's helpful to tidy your blue daisies by trimming them back after flowering to maintain bushiness and encourage fresh growth.

A light application of general-purpose fertiliser in spring will help your plants shine. While blue daisies are drought tolerant once established, they’ll benefit from an occasional drink during dry spells.

Best Garden Uses for Blue Daisy Flowers

One reason blue daisy flowers are so loved by New Zealand gardeners is their versatility. Plant them along pathways, use them as edging in sunny borders, or let them spill over retaining walls. Combine them with silver-leafed or pale perennials for a stunning Mediterranean-inspired look, or mix with other blue-toned plants for a serene cool colour palette. If you enjoy the effect of blue accents, consider pairing them with Plumbago Royal Cape or underplanting a majestic Jacaranda mimosifolia (Blue Jacaranda) for amazing layered blues in the landscape.

Similar and Complementary Blue Flowering Plants

While the blue daisy flower is a favourite, there are several other blue-flowering plants to explore for your garden. The Dianella Blue Twist brings architectural foliage and blue flower spikes, perfect for pairing with blue daisies in contemporary garden designs. The soft, aromatic Prostanthera Eddington Blue (Mint Bush Plant) offers blue-purple tubular flowers and makes an excellent companion for cottage gardens and native plantings.
