PLANT PROFILE
Brachyscomes are among the easiest of plants to grow, thriving in a wide range of conditions.

'Lemon Twist' is a ground cover that offers a dainty yellow daisy flower for much of the year. Its spreading habit and long flowering period make it the perfect choice for softening borders and pathways, as well as smothering bare patches under taller plants.

An ideal choice in cottage style and native gardens. Is at its most spectacular when mass planted as a carpet of yellow.

Use to soften edges and paths in the garden, particularly paved areas, as well as add interest to embankments and rockeries.

'Lemon Twist' also performs well in tubs, adding a splash of colour in dull periods during the year.

Plant under taller shrubs and perennials to cover bare patches of earth.

CULTURAL CARE
Brachyscomes do not like wet feet, so plant in well drained soils that are ideally well composted. 'Lemon Twist' prefers full sun to dappled shade.

Pruning can be done at any time of the year. Remove old growth and flowers by about 3-5cm in order to keep the plant vigorous and invite new blooms.
