Shrub Felicia
Felicia Fruticosa
Overview
The Shrub Aster, or Felicia fruticosa, is a hardy, evergreen perennial, thriving in full sun. Growing 2-3 feet high with an equal spread, its daisy-like blue blooms with yellow centers add vibrant color from spring through fall. It appreciates well-drained soil. Ideal for borders or as a cheerful groundcover, this low-maintenance shrub attracts pollinators while being drought-tolerant once established, making it a versatile choice for sustainable designs.
