Arctotis 'Mauve Delight' grows best in full sun and well drained soil, performing exceptionally in hot, dry, and coastal conditions. Choose an open position that receives plenty of sunlight to encourage strong flowering. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils, as Arctotis prefers lean, dry ground.

Arctotis 'Mauve Delight' care tips

Caring for Arctotis 'Mauve Delight' is easy due to its naturally tough and resilient nature. Remove spent blooms to promote further flowering through the season.
