 Ursinia anthemoides

$Ursinia anthemoides, a annual herb to 50 cm high, with yellow to orange flowers, 30 - 35 mm diameterwith its bright yellow flowers. Ursinia catches the eye wherever it is planted. The plants should be set close together in the beds for best effect. The plants should be grown in full sunshine as the flowers do not open properly in a shady place. Germination takes place within seven days, depending on the weather. These seeds will be shipped from South Africa. Photos © Peter Swart
