Description

Cape Weed is a low spreading ground cover with yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom from March to July. It is rather fast growing given adequate water. It is a great alternative to gazania. The leaves are gray green and it stays under 12". Use Cape Weed on bank for erosion control, or in parking strips and walkway areas. It is a great filler plant around shrubs in a shrub border.
