Rhodanthemum ‘Dark Pink AFRICAN EYES’

Common Name:
Moroccan Daisy

Description:
Rhodanthemum 'Dark Pink AFRICAN EYES' is a compact, evergreen perennial renowned for its finely cut, silvery-grey foliage and vibrant dark pink daisy-like flowers with contrasting dark centres. Flowering from mid-winter through to mid-summer, it offers a prolonged display of colour, making it an excellent choice for adding brightness to Melbourne gardens during cooler months. This low-growing plant forms a neat mound, making it ideal for borders, rockeries, containers, and as a ground cover. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting moderate drought tolerance once established. Regular light pruning after flowering encourages a dense, bushy habit and promotes further blooming. An application of slow-release fertiliser in early spring enhances growth and flowering.
