How to grow Arctotis 'Orange' in NZ

Arctotis 'Orange' grows best in full sun and free draining soil, performing strongly in warm and dry environments. Choose an open, sunny position to maximise flowering and maintain compact growth.

It performs reliably in coastal, inland, and exposed New Zealand gardens.

Arctotis 'Orange' care tips

Arctotis 'Orange' requires very little care thanks to its naturally tough nature. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage prolonged blooming. Trim lightly if plants become leggy or to maintain a tidy habit. Avoid excessive fertiliser and overwatering, as rich soil reduces flowering. It is naturally resistant to pests and diseases, making it ideal for low maintenance landscapes.
