Description

Arctotis hybrid Bronze is a hardy, evergreen, drought resistant, spreading groundcover that has attractive grey foliage that stays quite compact and neat.

It bears a multitude of colourful, large, daisy-like bronze-coloured flowers for most of the year.

The flowers attract butterflies and other pollinating insects to the garden. Because of its free-flowering habit, it makes an excellent garden and container subject.

Do not over-water and prune lightly and regularly to keep in shape. Remove the dead flowers regularly to encourage mass flowering. Plant in full sun or light semi-shade and in well-drained soil.

Size: 25cm
