How to grow Arctotis 'Flame' in NZ

Arctotis 'Flame' grows best in full sun and well drained soil, performing strongly in warm and dry conditions. Choose an open, sunny site to support abundant flowering and healthy growth. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils, as this plant prefers lean and free draining ground. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering once mature. It thrives across coastal, inland, and exposed gardens throughout New Zealand.

Arctotis 'Flame' care tips

Arctotis 'Flame' requires minimal care thanks to its naturally tough growth habit. Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Trim lightly if plants become leggy or to maintain a tidy form. Avoid excessive fertiliser or overwatering, as this can reduce flowering performance. It is naturally resistant to pests and diseases, making it ideal for low maintenance gardens.

Arctotis 'Flame' typically reaches twenty to thirty centimetres tall and spreads up to fifty centimetres wide. Its spreading, mat forming habit makes it perfect for ground cover and filling open spaces. Space plants forty to fifty centimetres apart to allow for natural spreading and airflow. It grows quickly in warm conditions and forms a dense, weed suppressing carpet.
