Dorotheanthus bellidiformis

Common Name: Livingstone Daisy

Description:
Dorotheanthus bellidiformis, commonly known as the Livingstone Daisy, is a low-growing, spreading annual prized for its dazzling, daisy-like flowers in bright shades of pink, red, yellow, orange, and white. The blooms open in full sun, creating a striking carpet of colour from late winter to early summer. Its fleshy, succulent-like leaves help it retain moisture, making it exceptionally drought-tolerant and ideal for dry, sandy soils. This easy-care plant thrives in rock gardens, borders, and pots, requiring minimal watering once established. Perfect for brightening up garden beds, Livingstone Daisies self-seed readily, ensuring a vibrant display year after year.
