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.
The information on this page is based on research conducted in our nursery library and from online sources as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery's garden and in other gardens that we have observed it in. We also will incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have additional information, particularly if this information is contrary to what we have written or includes additional cultural tips that might aid others in growing Arctotis stoechadifolia.
