Radiant Magenta Rock Daisy

Radiant Magenta is Ball FloraPlant’s trade name for the patented Brachyscome cultivar ‘Cherish’. The patent records Brachyscome angustifolia ‘Cherish’, while Ball’s product page lists Brachyscome hybrida and identifies the same ‘Cherish’ denomination and patent number. Sources describe a compact mound with bright magenta to red-purple flowers and dark green foliage; see the [Ball product page](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=010900001027828) and [plant patent](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP22686). ## Landscape use Place this low, spreading plant at the front of a sunny border, in a container or where its stems can soften an edge. Ball recommends hanging baskets and containers, while the [Plant Growers Australia flyer](https://plantgrowers.blob.core.windows.net/files/Fact/b%20radiant%20magenta%20fsV1.pdf) also lists mixed borders and groundcover. The flowering mound works well where the magenta daisies can be viewed close up. ## Seasonal interest The patent describes continuous flowering from spring through autumn in Australia, and the Australian grower flyer reports a display over many months. Flowering dates shift with climate and planting date. Flowers are bright magenta to red-purple; foliage is dark green and durable. ## Siting and soil Grow in full sun with good drainage. Ball lists a 5–7 inch height and 6–8 inch spread. The patent and Australian flyer report broader possible dimensions under other conditions, so allow room for the low mound to spread. Water while establishing, then give occasional deep watering during extended heat, as Plant Growers Australia recommends; avoid persistent saturation. ## Maintenance Light trimming after a flush can encourage fresh growth and keep the plant neat. Remove damaged or spent stems as needed. In containers, keep drainage open and adjust watering to weather and pot size.
