Ursinia Anthemoides (Ursinia Anthemoides) - If you want a beautiful bright orange daisy-like flower, than look no further than Ursinia Anthemoides. Ursinia quickly grows to approximately 15 inches tall and wide. It explodes into a mass of sunny, bright orange blooms that last for months. The 2 1/2 inch flowers are eye-fetching held atop the rich green mound of ferny foliage.
Ursinia is heat & drought tolerant once established, Ursinia anthemoides will easily self-sow for many return engagements. In USDA Zone 10 and 11 it can be planted at any time of the year (blooming shortly thereafter), & makes a good winter bloomer too. In colder climates, grow Ursinia from flower seeds and it will make a great annual flower.
