Description

• The “venidium orange flower” refers to the striking, daisy-like blossoms of the half-hardy annual Venidium fastuosum. This ornamental plant is also known by the common names Monarch of the Veldt or Cape Daisy.
• Flowers: The vibrant orange flowers grow to about 3–4 inches wide and have centers that range in color from deep purple to black. The flowers open in the morning and close by sunset. Size: The plant typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 2 feet (45–60 cm).
• Soil – It thrives in well-draining, fertile soil that may be slightly sandy or loamy. Poor drainage can cause root problems.
• Care – To encourage continuous flowering, it is essential to deadhead or remove faded blooms regularly. A balanced organic fertilizer can be applied every few weeks during the blooming season.
• Water – The plant needs moderate water, so keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the topsoil feels dry.
• Sunlight – Venidium fastuosum requires full sun to produce its large, brightly colored blooms.
• Attracts pollinators: The bright flowers are very attractive to bees and butterflies. Ornamental: It is a stunning, low-maintenance ornamental plant that adds vibrant color to garden beds, borders, and pots. Cut flowers: The flowers are also excellent for use in cut flower arrangements.
