Dimorphotheca sinuata, commonly known as the African daisy or orange daisy, is a dazzling annual native to South Africa, celebrated for its vibrant, daisy-like flowers that bring a burst of color to gardens and wildflower meadows. Growing about 12 to 18 inches tall, it forms low, branching mounds of narrow, lobed green leaves that provide a soft backdrop to its brilliant blooms. From spring through summer, the plant produces a profusion of striking orange to golden-orange flowers, often with dark or contrasting centers, that open in bright sunlight and close at night or on cloudy days, adding an element of rhythm and movement to the garden. These cheerful blossoms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making them both ornamental and ecologically valuable. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soils, Dimorphotheca sinuata is drought-tolerant and well-suited to hot, dry climates, where it quickly covers the ground with color and reseeds itself for naturalized displays. Its radiant, sun-catching petals make it especially striking when planted en masse, creating carpets of glowing orange that evoke its native South African spring landscapes, while in containers or borders it provides a lively splash of seasonal brilliance.
