What is a Felicia Flower?

The felicia flower, also commonly known as the blue daisy or blue marguerite, belongs to the Asteraceae family. Originating from South Africa, this perennial is well-suited to New Zealand’s conditions and is loved for its long flowering season. Each plant produces masses of small, daisy-shaped flowers, typically with blue petals and yellow centres, although hybrids and cultivars are now available in other shades.

Popular Varieties of Felicia Flower

There are several standout varieties of felicia flower that are particularly well-suited for New Zealand gardens:

Growing and Caring for Felicia Flower

Felicia flower is a low-maintenance garden favourite. It thrives in full sun and enjoys well-drained soil, preferring a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot. These perennial daisies are frost-tender, so in colder regions, consider growing felicia flower in containers that can be moved under cover during harsh weather.

To encourage continuous blooms, deadhead regularly and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season. Felicia flowers also make excellent companions for other sun-loving plants. They look particularly stunning in mixed cottage gardens, rockeries, borders, and hanging baskets.

Why Grow Felicia Flower in Your Garden?

Adding felicia flowers to your landscape brings not only cheerful colour but also welcome biodiversity. Their nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies throughout the season, supporting local pollinator populations. With their compact growth and abundant flowers, felicia varieties like Felicia Blue Jay (Blue Daisy) and Felicia Felicity Blue (Felicity Blue Felicia) are perfect for small gardens, patios, and urban spaces.

Browse our range of felicia flower varieties and enjoy an easy-care burst of colour in your New Zealand garden year-round.
