Felicias, belonging to the genus Felicia, are a group of flowering plants native to southern Africa, particularly known for their bright, daisy-like flowers that come in a range of colours, including blue, purple, and yellow. This genus is part of the Asteraceae family and includes both annual and perennial species, with many thriving in the diverse habitats of the Cape Floral Region. Felicias are characterized by their slender stems and narrow, lobed leaves, which can vary in texture and shape among different species. These plants prefer well-drained soils and are typically drought-tolerant, making them suitable for gardens in arid climates. They are often used in landscaping for their vibrant blooms, which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Flowering primarily in spring and summer, Felicias can create a stunning visual display in gardens and are also popular in rockeries and container gardens. Additionally, their low-maintenance nature and ability to withstand dry conditions make them a favourite choice for water-wise gardening.
