Brachyscome iberidifolia, commonly known as the Swan River daisy, is an annual herb native to Western Australia. Occupying a wide range, the species can form fields of plants. The Bellis daisy form and colours were familiar to Europeans when discovered, and they have since become a popular garden plant, as the species is hardy and adaptable, and poor or sandy soils do not prevent a showy display.
