These brilliant orange or yellow daisies remind many people of the famous tropical Gerbera, so popular in the cutflower trade. With their world-renowned
South African companion wildflowers (such as the flashy gazania and others), these plants create riotous color in their native range. All the South Africans are famous for “waiting for the water”, so don’t water your African Daisies too much.
