Didiscus Mix produces an enchanting display of delicate, lace-like flowers in a blend of soft pastel shades, creating a natural cottage garden feel wherever they are planted. Held on tall, branching stems above airy foliage, the blooms add texture, colour, and movement to garden beds, borders, and wildflower-style plantings. Their elegant appearance and long stems make them a favourite for cut flower gardens, bringing a light and graceful touch to floral arrangements.

This Australian native wildflower is well suited to a variety of growing conditions, including poor soils and coastal environments, making it an easy and rewarding choice for gardeners. Flowering generously throughout the warmer months, Didiscus Mix also attracts bees and other wildlife-attracting flower, helping create a vibrant and healthy garden.

Pair with Australian native seeds for a natural look, or mix in annual flowers for fresh colours each year. Value seeds make it cheaper and easier than ever to grow a gorgeous flower garden, and the garden watering kits keep everything in good health.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow Rottnest Island Daisy seeds in warm areas at any time.
Depth: Sow the seeds thinly on the surface and sprinkle just enough soil to hold them in place—do not bury them.
Thinning: Thin out the seedlings if they become overcrowded.
Transplanting: When plants are about 5cm (2in) high, transplant them to a sunny, well-drained spot in the garden, spacing them 20-30cm (8-12in) apart.
Growing notes: In frost-prone areas, wait until the danger of frost has passed before sowing. Fill pots or seed trays with moist sandy soil, wet thoroughly, and lightly compress. Australian natives often have low nutrient requirements as they are slow-growing and used to poorer soils. Water gently and cover with clear polythene to retain moisture until germination begins. Remove the cover once the seeds germinate. Place the pots or trays in a warm, shaded position. Water your Rottnest Island Daisies in well after transplanting, and continue to water regularly, especially during dry weather. Protect young plants from slugs and snails, as they can damage the seedlings.
