Felicia Felicity Blue, also known as Felicia amelloides, Kingfisher Daisy, and Marguerite Daisy, is a tender perennial native to South Africa. Danziger developed this cultivar for its long-flowering habit, with new flowers growing above mature flowers. This plant is sem-upright and shrubbing, growing 10-12" tall and 12-16" wide. Sky blue flowers with yellow centers bloom from early spring through summer. Perennial in zone 9-11, this tender evergreen daisy is best grown as an annual in cold climates. Felicia Felicity Blue is drought and wind-resistant, flourishing in full or partial sun with minimal water. This blue-flowering sub-shrub is an obvious choice for borders, patio containers, rock gardens, and cottage landscapes.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
