Felicia amoena, known as the soft felicia, is a variably hairy, sometimes glandular, biennial or perennial plant, of about 25 cm (10 in) high, that is assigned to the family Asteraceae. It is somewhat woody at its base, roots at the nodes if these contact the soil, and has ascending branches. The leaves are oppositely arranged along the stems at and just above a branching fork, further up the leaves alternate. The flower heads sit individually on up to 12 cm (4+1⁄2 in) long stalks. They are 2–3 cm (4⁄5–1+1⁄5 in) in diameter and consist of about twelve to twenty five heavenly blue ray florets that surround many yellow disc florets.
