Resilient, drought tolerant, long blooming, and deer resistant, Arctotis ‘Ultra Violet’ delivers the perfect marriage of beauty and practicality. This perennial African daisy lights up the garden from spring through fall with glistening violet-purple, daisy-like flowers up to 3.5" across, each one positively glowing against silvery foliage.

Compact, colorful, and tough, ‘Ultra Violet’ African Daisy is excellent for dry borders, sunny slopes, rock gardens, containers, pathway edges, and low-water landscapes. Its saturated purple flowers pair beautifully with orange, yellow, white, silver, and chartreuse companions, bringing bold contrast to water-wise plantings. Butterflies appreciate the open blooms, and gardeners appreciate the long season of color with very little fuss.

Plant Arctotis ‘Ultra Violet’ in full sun with well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and heat tolerant, though occasional water can keep the bloom show fresher. Deadhead or shear lightly to encourage continued flowering and tidy growth. Explore more durable groundcovers in our Arctotis collection.
