Rhodanthemum ‘Pink and White AFRICAN EYES’

Common Name:
Moroccan Daisy ‘Pink and White African Eyes’

Description:
Rhodanthemum ‘Pink and White African Eyes’ is a compact, daisy-like perennial that delivers a cheerful splash of colour to borders, rockeries, and containers. Its finely cut, grey-green foliage forms a neat, mounded base, from which rise masses of pink and white blooms with striking dark centres resembling an “eye,” giving the plant its distinctive name. This variety is bred for improved performance and flower longevity, making it ideal for Melbourne gardens that receive full sun and well-drained soil. It blooms profusely from late winter through spring and into early summer, attracting bees and adding brightness to cottage-style or Mediterranean plantings. Rhodanthemum is drought tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance—just a light trim after flowering to encourage compact growth and repeat blooming.
