About this plant
There are around a hundred species in this genus, both herbaceous and shrubs. They are found growing from southern Africa to Arabia. A number of these are hardy enough to be happy in UK garden situations, often in warmer parts of the country. The shrubs tend to be dense and bushy and some have appealing silvered foliage. The flowers are in a daisy formation and are generally coloured yellow, bright and cheery additions to the summer garden.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
Planting & general
Planting
Prune lightly after flowering
Give the plant a light haircut, generally tidying it up and removing any shoots that are wayward or damaged in any way. Dead flowers can be cut off if this is practical - the shrub may have too many, or they may be hard to reach.
