Description
The Brachyscome iberifolia 'Bravo' is an annual plant native to Western Australia, near the Swan River. Its bushy and compact habit, measuring 25cm (9.8 in) tall and wide, makes it an ideal plant for creating flowering borders, terrace pots, and balcony and window planters. The Brachycome prefers a warm and sunny location. It needs a rich and well-draining soil and can tolerate drought quite easily.
From June to September, numerous blue, lilac, white, or purple flowers with yellow or black hearts cover most of the foliage. The flowers are grouped in solitary heads measuring 4 cm (1.6 in) in diameter, resembling those of Daisies. Sometimes, a white halo located at the base of the ligulate florets seems to illuminate the center of the inflorescence. In this Australian Daisy, the flowers are fragrant.
The gray-green foliage is composed of hairy leaves measuring 10-15 cm (3.9 - 5.9 in) long, divided into strips.
An ecological asset: Throughout summer, the nectar-rich flowers of Brachyscome 'Bravo' attract pollinating insects and butterflies to your garden. A great way to improve the ecosystem of your garden and promote fruit and vegetable production in your vegetable garden.

Planting and care
Sow Brachycome 'Bravo' from February to April in a seed tray. Use high-quality soil that you will sieve on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, lightly press down the soil with a board. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling soil on top or vermiculite, lightly press down and water generously with a fine rain. Place your seed tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 18°C to 21°C. Lower the temperature at night to 18°C to create a beneficial alternation for germination.
The seeds will germinate in 7 to 21 days. As soon as the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (2.8 in) pots. Keep the soil moist but not excessive during growth. By pinching the tips of the young shoots at 5 cm (2 in), you will stimulate branching of the plant.
15 days before their final placement, start gradually acclimatizing them to a temperature of 15°C.
By the end of May or early June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good shovel of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 20 cm (7.9 in) apart.
Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain beauty and promote renewal.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:

- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
