Agathaea

/ˌæɡəˈθiːə/ noun

Definition

A genus of South African plants known for their bright blue flowers, sometimes called blue daisy.

Etymology

From Greek 'agathos' (good) plus the botanical suffix '-ea.' The genus name suggests the plant's desirable or beautiful qualities.

Kelly Says

Agathaea flowers are beloved by gardeners because they bloom in brilliant blue, a rare color in daisies—they're also incredibly hardy and drought-tolerant, making them a favorite for xeriscape gardens (those designed to need little water)!
