Variegata Blue Daisy Bush (Felicia amelloides 'Variegata') is a cheerful, mounding perennial shrublet producing a continuous succession of bright sky-blue daisy flowers with warm golden centers above a bed of attractive cream-and-green variegated foliage that provides striking visual interest even when not in bloom. This double-duty ornamental delivers both outstanding flower color and year-round foliage appeal, making it one of the most versatile and rewarding compact flowering plants available for containers, mixed borders, and low-maintenance organic gardens.

Grown from our premium organic heritage program, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system — dense, well-established, and ready for vigorous establishment. Variegata Blue Daisy Bush thrives in full sun to part shade and is notably more heat and drought tolerant than many soft-stemmed perennials, performing reliably through warm summer conditions with minimal intervention. Its compact, tidy mounding habit and extended bloom season make it an outstanding choice for container arrangements, mixed perennial borders, cottage gardens, and low-water landscape plantings where season-long color and foliage interest are equally valued.

  • Dual Ornamental Appeal — Bright sky-blue daisy flowers with golden centers combine with striking cream-and-green variegated foliage for a plant that delivers outstanding visual interest both in and out of bloom throughout the season.
  • Extended Season-Long Blooming — Produces a continuous succession of cheerful sky-blue daisy flowers from spring through fall, providing one of the longest bloom windows of any compact ornamental shrublet.
  • Drought Tolerant Once Established — Develops strong drought resistance once roots are established, thriving with minimal supplemental irrigation in water-wise and low-maintenance landscape applications.
  • Pollinator Friendly — Sky-blue daisy flowers with nectar-rich golden centers attract native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects throughout the extended bloom season.
  • Compact & Container-Perfect — Naturally tidy mounding habit stays neat without heavy pruning, making Variegata Blue Daisy Bush ideal for patio containers, window boxes, mixed border fronts, and cottage garden plantings.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and moderate moisture — water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as drought tolerance develops. Hardy in USDA zones 9–11, growing 12–18" tall with a spread of 18–24". Blooms spring through fall (March–November) in mild climates; in cooler climates treat as a long-season annual or overwinter indoors. Trim lightly after peak bloom to encourage a fresh flush of flowers and maintain a tidy, compact form.
