Tucked away amongst the grasses are the miniature and delicate, white and yellow daisy flowers of the perennial Felicia muricata subsp. muricata, a typical grassland species providing a contrast with the grasses in the garden in summer. Felicia muricata flowers on and off throughout the year, even in winter, and is an attractive plant en-masse, especially on the edges of grass gardens and along paths. It is a much-branched shrublet, often woody at the base with needle-like leaves that grow in tufts along the stems. There are several subspecies and variations in flower colour across the habitats and distribution range.
