Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Loads of 1” orange or yellow blooms appear Spring-mid-Summer on this easy, fast & extremely floriferous South African annual. Great for quick long lasting color in a dry rock or low maintenance garden. It grow to about 1.5’ high & wide. The big bonus is that it’s an avid self-sower so you’ll have lots of easy carefree color in each succeeding year. Combine with bright gentian blue Anagallis monellii for an exciting color combo. Well drained soil for best show.
