Zulu Prince Cape Daisy Seeds

Arctotis fastuosa

A reliable bloomer, 'Zulu Prince' will fill the garden with 3"–4" flowers above silver-tinged foliage, attracting bees, birds, and butterflies from midsummer to fall. Also known as Monarch of the Veldt due to its prolific presence on the plains of southern Africa, this hardy, practically care-free beauty will keep on blooming through summer's heat where other flowers falter, as the sturdy plant thrives in poor soil and hot, dry conditions. Flowers open to greet the sun on sunny days and follow it throughout the day.

    Growing Fast!

    The germination is great. These beautiful daisies are growing faster than expected. I started them indoors at the time recommended on the seed envelope, and they are thriving, blooming, and it's still too early to put them outside!
