Felicia echinata
Also called Prickly Felicia
Felicia echinata, commonly known as the dune daisy or prickly felicia, is a species of shrub native to South Africa belonging to the daisy family (Compositae or Asteraceae). It grows to 1 m (3.3 ft) high and bears blue-purple flower heads with yellow central discs. In the wild, it flowers April to October.
Felicia echinata adapts readily to cultivation, requiring well-drained soil and a sunny position. It has horticultural potential as a rockery plant.
An endemic of the Cape Floristic Region, F. echinata only occurs in a narrow strip along the south coast between Mossel Bay and Bathurst.
