Orphium frutescens
sea rose
Description
Orphium frutescens, or the Cape Daisy, is a delicate, yet vibrant, succulent shrub native to South Africa. It distinguishes itself with slender, graceful stems and soft, elliptic leaves that have a slightly blue-green hue. This plant truly shines when it blooms, producing an abundance of daisy-like flowers with a rich, pink color and a yellow center. These blooms attract pollinators, adding life to any garden. The Cape Daisy prefers full sun and well-draining soil, thriving in coastal or slightly arid environments. It's a relatively low-maintenance plant, but benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and promote flowering. Provide moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Orphium frutescens is a beautiful and rewarding plant that adds a touch of elegance and color to any landscape.
