Most blue flowers are blushed with purple to some degree. Except for lily of the Nile, true blue flowers are quite uncommon. Even with their yellow centers, the tiny daisy flowers of blue marguerite, Felicia amelloides, seem to be too blue to be real. They are almost expected to fade to lavender. Bloom may not be as full as it was a month ago, but continues as long as the weather is warm.
Mature plants are usually less than a foot and a half tall, and not much wider, with a symmetrically rounded form. The branches are rather fragile, and can be broken by something as trivial as a clumsy cat. They really are not strong enough for bouncy dogs or children. Yet, their tiny oval leaves are just raspy enough to deter deer. Unfortunately, blue marguerite plants live only a few years.
I love it. I find it has a rest after being cut back after flowering and then off it goes again as good as new.

Yes, but I am hesitant to cut them back. I tend to cut them too severely. They really only want the dead blooms and maybe a bit of the tips growth cut back if they are stretching. I killed a few back when I was working in a retail nursery many years ago.
