Felicia amelloides, commonly known as the blue daisy bush or blue felicia, is a perennial evergreen shrub native to the coastal regions of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. It typically grows up to 20 inches high and can spread to about 24 inches wide, forming a dense, bushy mound. The plant is characterized by its numerous branches and oppositely arranged, dark green, elliptic leaves that provide a lush backdrop to the bright blue ray florets surrounding yellow disc florets, which bloom profusely in spring and summer. The flowers, about 1 inch across, are notably showy and attract a variety of pollinators.

Blue daisy bush is valued for its long flowering season and vibrant blue flowers, which add a splash of color to garden borders, rockeries, and containers. It is also used as a ground cover due to its spreading habit. In cultivation, Felicia amelloides prefers full sun to part shade, well-drained soil, and moderate watering, although it is drought-tolerant once established. It is relatively low maintenance but benefits from regular deadheading to encourage continuous blooming. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
