Fine-leaf felicia is a South African subshrub bearing cheerful lavender-blue daisy-like flowers over fine, needle-like foliage and performs best in well-drained soils with moderate water. It is suited to Mediterranean-climate gardens, rock gardens, and containers where drainage is excellent and summers are not excessively humid. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage repeat blooming.
