A Gift From Down Under: Swan River Daisy Brachyscome IberidifoliaAn import from the land down under, Swan River daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia) joins eucalyptus as one of our favorite botanical gifts from Australia.
Though this blooming beauty is available with lavender, pink, or white flowers, it’s the varieties with the striking blue daisy-like flowers that really catch our attention, especially when massed groundcover-style.
While generally classified as an annual, this drought-tolerant, fragrant jewel may function as an herbaceous perennial in Zones 8-10.

Bear in mind, however, that B. iberidifolia doesn’t flower well in very hot weather.
In addition to being used to cover large swaths of a garden bed, many gardeners use this member of the Asteraceae family in borders and in containers.
It grows to a mature height of one to three feet, with a spread of one to one and a half feet.
The foliage of this plant – whose scientific name is sometimes spelled “Brachycome” without the “s” – is many-branched and sports light green, finely divided leaves with long and narrow segments.
Swan River daisy’s one-inch flowers are profuse across the plant. You’ll want to deadhead the spent flowers to promote continued blooming.
Let’s Get GrowingYou can propagate from seeds started indoors six to eight weeks before your average last frost date. You can also sow directly in the garden after the last frost date.
Some gardeners like to sow successively every two to four weeks throughout the summer to enhance the bloom period.
Low-maintenance B. iberidifolia isn’t terribly picky about its soil, tolerating poor dirt but thriving in rich

Gloves are always of interest to gardeners – I have an enormous collection, many of which have holes in the fingers, so I think it is time to cull the less than perfect and invest in a few more. I came back from the show with a pair of MechanixWear womens’ leather-palmed gloves (£22) which are soft, comfortable and washable as well as extremely tough. The sizing is on the small side though so it’s best to buy larger than normal. Burgon & Ball always have innovative displays on their stand – their Love the Glove range (from £12.95) were displayed under glass domes. These gloves are ultra-soft but hardwearing, have padded palm and a wrist strap to keep debris out. www.burgonandball.com Sneeboer, makers of fine garden tools have had fun with one of their garden spades that they have fashioned into a stool – it’s not for sale, but I best they get lots of enquiries about it – so who knows, in the future it may be added to the range. Just the sort of thing the hipsters love! Trugs come in every shape and size and the Trugmake
In my earlier post about Sir Paul Smith, I wrote about the role of green as the anchor that holds everything in place in a garden – so it’s unsurprising that the greenness was what I noticed as I looked at some of the drawings of this year’s Chelsea gardens. No doubt, when we get to Chelsea our eyes will seek out the excitement, and the actual gardens will be further enlivened by shape, texture and the play of light, but it is useful to see the contribution that green makes to each of the gardens and bear it in mind for the planting in our own garden. Jo Thompson’s Sylvan Retreat will h
A good friend, Tony Howard, is the head gardener at an impressive private garden that has been started more or less from scratch around a large Victorian Gothic house. This is gardening on a grand scale and I am hugely admiring of what he has achieved. When I visited
The Chelsea Flower Show
I don’t think it was just the flat light, grey skies and chilly temperatures that gave the show quite a subdued feel. Of course, it was not helped by our never-arriving spring that has left many of the show gardens with flowers on the point of unfurling, but seemingly as reluctant to open as I was to remove any of the several layers of clothing I was wearing on Press Day.
Sir Paul Smith finds inspiration at the Chelsea Flower Show Last week I somewhat reluctantly took the train to London for a second day in a row to attend the late afternoon RHS press briefing for Chelsea 2015. Don’t get me wrong – I was interested – it was the prospect of a two hour journey home on a crowded commuter train that put me off. I’M SO GLAD I WENT.
