Plant in full sun. Very low water needs. Cold hardy to 20-25 degrees F (Zone 9).

This plant is likely a Venidio-Arctotis hybrid or Arctotis Harlequin Hybrid (syn. Arctotis hybrida, X Venidioarctotis) which involved crossing and back crossing several species including Arctotis venusta grandis and Venidium [now Acrtotis] fastuosa. Hardy to 20 to 25° F. This plant is the product of a breeding program conducted by Graham Brown in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia with the objective of creating new early flowering compact Arctotis cultivars with interesting-colored flowers. This plant originated from a cross made in 1998 between Arctotis 'Flame' and Arctotis 'Silver Carpet'. It was granted the now expired US Patent PP14,667 in April 2004. We discontinued production of this plant in 2014.
