Very small or even invisible seeds, easily germinate, quickly, but then sowing is very delicate.

Description

The Brachycome Little Missy is an annual plant native to Western Australia, near the Swan River. It is commonly referred to by its Latin name Brachyscome iberidifolia Little Missy or Brachyscome Little Missy.
Its bushy and compact habit (25cm (9.8 in) tall and wide) makes it an ideal plant for creating flower borders, potted plants on the terrace, and balcony and window boxes.

The grey-green foliage is composed of fuzzy leaves measuring 10-15 cm (3.9 - 5.9 in) in length, divided into strips.

From June to September, numerous blue-lilac flowers with yellow centers cover most of the foliage. The flowers are solitary heads resembling Daisy flowers. A white halo at the base of the petals seems to outline the heart of the flower. The fragrant flowers of this Australian Daisy have a diameter of about 4 cm (1.6 in).

Its flower shape and place of origin earned it the name Swan River Daisy.

The Brachycome prefers a warm and sunny location. It requires a rich and well-drained soil and can tolerate drought quite easily.

An ecological asset: Throughout summer, the nectar-rich flowers of the Brachycome Little Missy attract pollinating insects and butterflies to your garden. A great way to improve the ecosystem of your garden and promote fruit and vegetable production in your vegetable garden.

Planting and care

Sow Brachycome Little Missy from February to April in a seed tray. Use good quality compost that you will sieve on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, lightly press down the compost with a board. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling compost on top or using vermiculite, lightly press down and water generously with a fine rain. Place your seed tray in a well-lit area, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 18°C to 21°C. Lower the temperature at night to 18°C to create a beneficial alternation for germination.

The seeds will germinate in 7 to 21 days. As soon as the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (2.8 in) pots. Keep the compost moist but not excessive during growth. By pinching the tips of the young shoots at 5cm (2 in), you will stimulate branching of the plant.
15 days before their final planting, start gradually acclimatizing them to a temperature of 15°C.

By late May or early June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good handful of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 20cm (7.9 in) apart.

Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain their beauty and promote renewal.
