The cape daisy of South Africa
Native to South Africa, the Dimorphotheca opens its radiant blooms with the sun, in shades of orange, white, and pink with striking dark centers.
Drought-resistant and heat-loving, it quickly carpets the ground in flowers, ideal for rock gardens and sunny spots.
"The Dimorphotheca opens its flowers whenever the sun touches them."
