''Felicia amelloides'' (blue daisy, blue marguerite) is a species of flowering plant of the family Asteraceae, native to South Africa. ''F. amelloides'' is synonymous with, and formerly known as, ''F. aethiopica'', ''Aster amelloides'', ''Aster capensis'', and ''Aster coelestis''. ''F. amelloides'' is an evergreen shrublet usually tall by wide, but sometimes up to tall, with densely branched and frequently dark red stems, and rough, hairy, ovate green leaves. Striking blue composite flowers with prominent yellow centres, about 30 mm in diameter, and borne on naked stalks up to 180 mm long. This species is much cultivated, and in the temperate world is usually grown as a half-hardy annual in pots, window-boxes, hanging baskets, and other summer bedding schemes for parks and gardens. Drought- and wind-resistant, it requires a sheltered aspect in full sun, and does not tolerate frost.〔http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=789〕 == References == * (Missouri Botanical Garden entry ) * (Plantzafrica description ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Felicia amelloides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
