Dimorphotheca sinuata (African daisy) orange annual flower

Dimorphotheca sinuata, commonly known as African daisy, is a stunning annual flower that thrives in summer-dry climate gardens. This vibrant orange flower features a daisy-like appearance with bold, colorful petals that add a pop of color to any garden. African daisies are known for their low, spreading growth habit, making them ideal for ground cover or container gardening.

Native to South Africa, African daisies are well-adapted to mediterranean climates with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil, making them perfect for gardens with limited irrigation. These flowers are drought-tolerant and only require occasional watering once established.

African daisies are popular for their long-lasting blooms, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden. They are commonly used as edging plants, in rock gardens, or as additions to flower beds for a burst of color. With their vibrant orange petals and low-maintenance nature, African daisies are a valuable addition to any summer-dry garden.
