Arctotis ‘Silverdust Pink’

Common Name:
African Daisy 'Silverdust Pink'

Description:
Arctotis ‘Silverdust Pink’ is a striking and hardy ground cover, adored for its large daisy-like blooms and soft, silvery foliage. The vibrant pink flowers, each with a deep golden centre, sit above a dense mat of soft, felted leaves that shimmer in the sunlight. This plant is particularly well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, thriving in dry conditions with minimal maintenance. It prefers full sun and well-drained soils and is ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, borders, or mass plantings where vibrant seasonal colour is desired. Flowering begins in late winter and continues strongly through spring and summer, with a flush often seen into autumn in milder conditions. Arctotis ‘Silverdust Pink’ is drought-tolerant once established and copes well with neglect, making it a popular choice for water-wise gardens.
