Nursery contributed plant descriptions

When this buttery yellow form of Ursinia pilifera emerged from the mix, we declared its siblings old hat & set ourselves to the task of propagating this unique individual. Curly, forest green foliage stays semi-evergreen through the year & forms a 2' wide carpet to less than 1' tall. Bedecked with purple-backed yellow blushed flowers through the months of Spring, each bloom is 1.5" wide with a dark center. Tough on the whole, good drainage & an annual supplement of compost suits it best. From South Africa!
