    The sunny two toned daisy flowers, the inner half of each petal is bright yellow and the outer half golden yellow, of this variety always remind me of the beach.Nigh on indestructible perennials with a penchant for impoverished sand Arctotis tolerate anything but waterlogged soil.Plant anywhere sunny and exposed for super powered spring colour.Very good at stabilizing sand or weed suppressing ground cover.Dead head annually after flowering, with a whipper snipper or mower set high.
