Arctotis stoechadifolia (Cream African Daisy) - An aggressive low-growing groundcover that hugs the ground with leafy, ribbed stems and toothed large leaves that are grayish-green and covered with many fine white hairs. The stems can root where they are in contact with the ground. The large daisy-like flowers are white with a steel blue center that is encircled by a band of yellow. Hardy to 25-30 degrees F. We offered this plant in the past, listing it in our catalogs from 1995 to 2000 but because of its short shelf life (it just grows too fast!) we stopped growing it. We brought it back into production in 2010 because so many customers have requested it after seeig our extensive planting of it in the nursery.
This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Arctotis stoechadifolia.
