Arctotis acaulis 'Big Magenta' (African Daisy) - An evergreen groundcover that stays under 1 foot tall and spreads 2-3 feet and often wider with velvety gray foliage and large magenta daisy flowers with an orange ring in the center. Flowering begins in later winter and continues through summer. Plant in full sun. Very low water needs. Hardy to 20-25 degrees F (Zone 9). This is an SMG 2000 Introduction that was a sport of a plant that we previously sold as Arctotis 'Magenta'. Both of these plants are most likely Venidio-Arctotis hybrids or Arctotis Harlequin Hybrids (syn. Arctotis hybrida, X Venidioarctotis) which involved crossing and back crossing several species including Arctotis venusta grandis and Venidium [now Arctotis] fastuosa.
