The Blues Blue Daisy (Felicia Heterophylla Blue) - With its profusion of gorgeous sky-blue flowers borne above tidy, compact foliage, Blue Daisy is a very easily grown plant from flower seeds. Blue Daisies will make a most charming addition to the flower garden or as a mass planting. The Blues is a mat-forming annual. It is a member of the daisy family, native to South Africa with solitary, pale-blue daisy flowers, 3/4 inch wide with dark centers. It bears gray-green, leaves that are inversely-lance shaped and very aromatic. Will continue to bloom strongly if dead flowers are removed regularly. In late summer prune back to encourage new wood for flowering. Excellent container plant, requires full sun, moderate watering.
