Noteworthy Characteristics
From the Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa comes this floriferous, medium-sized shrub with evergreen foliage and a profusion of bright yellow daisy flowers. The plants naturally exist on open, rocky seaside areas, so they are well-adapted to drought and aerosol salt. The leaves are a lush, glossy, medium green, each has seven to nine lobes, which make them look like tiny oak leaves. The yellow daisy flowers occur year-round in warmer regions but are most prolific from fall to spring. The flowers are held on long, wiry stems above the leaves and attract lots of insect pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. The seed heads are filled with black seeds that birds will feed on. Regular deadheading will encourage heavier flowering.
