This half-hardy perennial daisy species from Australia, often grown as an annual, has a matting, mounding or gently spreading growth habit growing up to 40 cm in height. It can be used as a bedding or conservatory plant in summer bedding schemes, patio and balcony displays, in containers, window boxes and hanging baskets, but also as a low-growing plant for a sunny rock garden or to spill over a sunny wall. A dainty yet tough cut-leaved 'rock daisy' that can thrive in dry, rocky or shallow soils once well established. It produces pretty mauve, pale pink or white little daisy flowers with petals that are 7 to 10 mm long. Blooms freely in late summer and well into autumn and sometimes winter in sheltered spots. The plant has attractive, fine, deeply-divided mid-green foliage.
