Arctotis fastuosa var. alba

A native flower of South Africa, this annual thrives in heat. The show stopping blooms have such a unique look with the contrasting markings in the centre with jet black and white petals with rings of orange and purple. The plants are a workhorse cut and come again bloomer if regularly deadheaded and make wonderful cut flowers.
