Arctotis fastuosa
Namaqualand arctotis
Description
Arctotis fastuosa, another member of the African Daisy family, showcases striking, daisy-like flowers. Its petals are typically a vibrant orange color, often with a dark, almost black, center, making them stand out in the garden. The leaves are a gray-green color and are typically a bit more textured. Its ability to thrive in hot, sunny conditions makes it ideal for warmer climates and dry gardens. They are also quite drought-tolerant. To cultivate Arctotis fastuosa, plant them in full sun. Make sure you have well-draining soil, and water them regularly, especially when they are young. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage more blooms, ensuring an extended flowering period and will keep it neat.
