blue and white daisybush

The blue and white daisybush brings bright, reliable color to sunny garden borders.

The blue and white daisybush is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub native to South Africa. It grows in compact mounds up to one meter tall, making it a perfect fit for the front or middle of a sunny garden bed. Its slender, aromatic green leaves are topped with abundant daisy-like flowers.

This plant is easy to care for and thrives in full sun with moderate watering. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and handles dry spells well. You can easily plant it alongside companion plants like lavender, rosemary, or verbena.

The flowers are the true highlight, featuring crisp white outer petals wrapped around a deep blue-purple center. These blooms last from spring all the way through early autumn, attracting friendly bees and butterflies to your yard. Just keep in mind that while it is safe for humans, it is toxic to family pets.
