African Daisy 'Flame', Arctotis 'Flame'
Native to South Africa, Arctotis x hybrida 'Flame' is a stunning African Daisy exhibiting large, 4 in. wide (10 cm), bright bronze-orange daisy-like flowers surrounding a golden disk and beautiful, and finely cut, silvery-green foliage.
- Quite showy, this tender perennial won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
