Arctotis Silver pink

Common Name:
Arctotis 'Silver Pink'

Description:
Arctotis 'Silver Pink' is a striking ground cover known for its large, daisy-like blooms in shades of silver and pink. These vibrant flowers, often featuring dark centres, rise above a dense mat of silvery-grey foliage, creating a captivating contrast. Flowering predominantly from late winter through spring and into early summer, this plant adds a splash of colour during the cooler months. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it exhibits excellent drought tolerance once established, making it ideal for Melbourne's climate. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it perfect for borders, rockeries, and mass plantings, especially in coastal or dry garden settings. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming, and minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional watering during extended dry periods.
