Felicia filifolia

Description

Felicia filifolia is a hardy, evergreen shrub growing to about 1 metre tall. It has small, bright-green, needle-like leaves and from July to September, it’s covered in a marvellous display of mauve flowers. It’s a feast for pollinators and once established, it’s extremely drought-resistant. Plant in full sun and prune back lightly after flowering.
