Latin Name: Felicia amelloides ‘Forever Blue’Â
The Felicia ‘Forever Blue’ is a cheerful, evergreen plant (often grown as an annual) prized for its daisy-like blue blooms and long flowering season. Growing 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) tall and wide, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and rock gardens.
This compact cultivar produces 1-inch (2.5 cm) bright blue flowers with yellow centers, blooming spring to frost in mild climates. Its glossy, dark green foliage forms a dense mound, offering year-round interest in frost-free zones.
Thrives in full sun and well-draining, sandy soil. Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering. Deer-resistant and salt-tolerant, making it perfect for coastal gardens.
Perfect for pollinator gardens, pair with yellow coreopsis, white alyssum, or silver artemisia.
