Why Choose Felicia Daisy for Your Garden?

Felicia daisies, also known as Blue Marguerite or Felicia amelloides, are celebrated for their long bloom time and charming appearance. Their delicate petals, usually in shades of blue or mauve with sunny yellow centres, attract bees and butterflies, making them a valuable addition to any eco-friendly garden. Drought tolerance and salt resistance make the felicia daisy a reliable performer in coastal and urban gardens where conditions can be tough for less hardy plants.

Felicia daisies thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, needing minimal care once established. With a compact growth habit, they’re fantastic for garden edging, rockeries, window boxes, and mass planting. You can combine several felicia daisy varieties for an ever-changing display.

Popular Felicia Daisy Varieties in New Zealand

There’s a felicia daisy for every garden style. The classic Felicia amelloides Blue Marguerite offers bright blue petals with a yellow centre and is perfect for borders or pots. If you prefer a variation on the classic, consider Felicia amelloides variegata (Variegated Blue Marguerite Daisy), which adds attractive variegated foliage to the show.

For a fresh soft hue, Felicia Mauve Cloud (Mauve Cloud Felicia) brings a gentle mauve tone to the garden, creating a dreamy pastel effect that pairs beautifully with silvers, whites, and purples. Felicia Felicity Blue (Felicity Blue Felicia) offers striking, richer blue blooms and sturdy growth for eye-catching displays. For pure elegance, Felicia White Star (White Felicia) features crisp white petals that brighten up shaded spots and combine beautifully with other colourful perennials.

Felicia Daisy Care Tips

Felicia daisies are among the easiest perennials to grow. Plant them in a sunny position, water regularly while they establish, and they’ll reward you with months of flowers from spring through autumn. Deadheading spent flowers encourages more blooms, and an occasional light trim keeps plants tidy. Feed with an all-purpose fertiliser in spring, and ensure good drainage during wet seasons. In milder regions, felicia daisies may flower right through winter.
