Arctotis stoechadifolia
Also called Bear’s ear, Blue eyed African daisy, White Arctotis, Bitter African Daisy
Arctotis stoechadifolia is a perennial African daisy from the sand dunes of South Africa's West Coast, grown in gardens for its white flowers. Well-drained, sandy soil and full sun are the keys to growing it well.
Arctotis stoechadifolia, the African daisy or white arctotis, is a species of South African flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is a rare plant found only in its native range in sand dunes along the West coast of Cape Province. However, it has also been introduced in New Zealand.
The species is sometimes regarded as the same species as the much more common and widely cultivated A. venusta, but authors separate the two as distinct species.
