Common names: trailing pink daisy (English). 
Botanical name: Dimorphotheca jucunda

Dimorphotheca jucunda, also known as the trailing pink daisy, is a perennial herb with striking purple flowers that can create an illusion of a deep, dark pool in your garden. This plant is native to mountain slopes in sandy soil, among quartzite rocks, or in mountain grassland, with a natural distribution from Limpopo to the Eastern Cape. It is frost-resistant and can be mass-planted as a groundcover, as a border to a shrubbery, to line pathways, or in a rockery or embankment where it can cascade over the rocks.
