Originating from southern Africa these delightful plants are always popular for beds and borders, where they will make a timely appearance every year.
Flowering from spring until autumn with large, bold daisy-like blooms. The most recent breeding work has created compact growing plants, which flower early and over a long season. Text Courtesy of Van Meuwen
