Plant description
A charming and attractive perennial plant with a compact and mounding habit, characterised by its abundant and showy flowers. Large and daisy-like, with a diameter of around 5 cm (2”), the petals are a soft pinkish-lilac colour, with a central treacle-yellow disk that gradually fades to white towards the edge. The leaves are small, narrow, and grey-green, providing a lovely backdrop to the colourful flowers. 'African Rose' blooms profusely in spring and summer and is an excellent choice for garden borders, rockeries, or as a container plant.

How to care for Rhodanthemum African Rose:
No regular pruning is usually required, however if necessary, remove dead or diseased stems after flowering. Pinching off the faded flowers will encourage more to form - often prolonging the flowering season.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
