Botanical name: Dimorphotheca ecklonis

Dimorphotheca ecklonis, commonly known as the Cape marguerite, is a stunning perennial native to the Eastern Cape. It boasts white ray florets with a vibrant blue center, thriving in full sun to grace gardens with its year-round blooms. This plant attracts butterflies, enhancing biodiversity, but contains hydrocyanic acid, making it toxic to cattle. Easy to grow, it’s drought-resistant and frost-hardy, ideal for ground cover or lining pathways. Cultivated from cuttings or self-sown seeds, it’s a low-maintenance addition that brings a splash of color and life to any garden setting.
