Fresco™ Purple Brachyscome angustifolia

Fresco™ Purple is a compact Brachyscome angustifolia with finely textured green foliage and daisy-like flowers described as light purple by Danziger and blue by Ball FloraPlant. The breeder lists early, continuous flowering and a mounded habit; Ball describes the finished plant as upright-mounded. Its trade identity is Fresco™ Purple in the Fresco™ series, with color differences documented in the [Danziger series guide](https://www.danzigeronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Brachyscome-Fresco.2026.pdf) and [Ball FloraPlant profile](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/utility/cultureSheetPDF.aspx?pagename=printerfriendlyplantinfo.aspx&txtphid=010900001038323). ## Landscape use Use it in a small pot, hanging basket or sunny mixed container, where its rounded form can sit near an edge. Ball reports a height of 4–6 inches and spread of 8–12 inches. Danziger’s series guide lists 4–6 inches tall and 8–10 inches wide; the modest difference reflects separate production profiles rather than a single fixed garden size. ## Seasonal interest Danziger characterizes flowering as early and continuous, while Ball says the flowers last all season. Single flowers appear above the finely divided foliage, with purple and blue both recorded in cultivar-level material. Timing outdoors varies by planting date and climate. ## Siting and soil Provide sun and a free-draining container medium. Ball recommends high light and cooler temperatures for quality plants, and its propagation notes caution against saturated soil while cuttings are rooting. Once planted outdoors, water to the container’s drying rate and avoid persistent wetness around the roots. ## Maintenance Pinch at transplant if a tighter mound is desired. Trim uneven stems and remove damaged or spent material to keep the display neat. Maintain drainage and adjust watering during hot or cool weather.
