Product information
Ursinia Bright Orange (Ursinia Anthemoides) - Indigenous. If you want a beautiful bright orange daisy-like flower, than look no further than Ursinia Anthemoides. Ursinia quickly grows to approximately 35 cm. tall and wide. It explodes into a mass of sunny, bright orange blooms that last for months. The 6 cm flowers are eye-fetching held atop the rich green mound of ferny foliage.
Ursinia is heat & drought tolerant once established, Ursinia anthemoides will easily self-sow for many return engagements. This annual is very easy to grow. Sow seed during autumn (March-May) in seed beds or seed trays (see our Plastic Seedling Trays) using a light, well-draining medium which is placed in a sunny position. The medium is levelled and well-watered beforehand.
The seed will germinate within the first two weeks. Seedlings are pricked out from the beds / trays as soon as they are large enough to be handled.
Transplanting is a crucial stage and care needs to be taken that these seedlings are well watered so that they can get properly established.
This species will thrive when planted in full sun. For better results, ensure that seedlings are planted close together and north-facing, as the flower heads turn to follow the sun.
Seed can also be sown directly into garden beds, but germination could be erratic. There will also be fierce competition with fast growing weeds.
As of mid-August, this species gradually starts to flower and to come into full bloom towards the end of August. This continues throughout the month of September and onwards till mid-October.
