Trailing African Daisy (Dimorphotheca fruticosa), also known as the trailing or spreading daisy, is a vibrant perennial plant native to the coastal regions of South Africa. Renowned for its stunning, daisy-like flowers, this species produces bright white, yellow, or orange blooms that are often adorned with striking purple or blue centers. The flowers typically appear in spring and summer, creating a cheerful display that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This plant has a trailing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and ground cover in sunny gardens. The leaves are narrow, fleshy, and dark green, providing a lush backdrop for the colorful flowers. Dimorphotheca fruticosa thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun, making it well-suited for Mediterranean and coastal climates. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance, making it a popular choice among gardeners looking for low-water landscaping options. Its ability to spread and form dense mats not only enhances garden aesthetics but also helps suppress weeds, adding functional value to its ornamental appeal.
