Arctotis  - African Daisy
With Arctotis'  gray-green leaves and silvery-white flowers, this variety
has been a favorite for years. I simply love the blue centers on each
flower.  Arctotis African Daisy closes its petals in the evening and on
cloudy days.  Once established, this plant is very drought tolerant.  It's
not fussy about great soil conditions.  Give African Daisy enough space,
it will quickly fill in as the summer days grow long and hot.  Full sun is a
must for this plant in my zone 6 garden.
