Perennial shrublet of the Asteraceae family, native to South Africa, mainly from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, where it grows in open grasslands, forest edges, and grassy slopes, at moderate to medium altitudes.
It forms a flexible and branched bush, reaching 60 to 100 cm in height, with a looser and more natural habit than Euryops acraeus. The leaves are green, deeply pinnatifid, with narrow segments, without the silvery tomentum characteristic of its mountain cousin; their texture is more herbaceous and their color distinctly green.
The flower heads are numerous, borne on long slender stems well above the foliage, with bright yellow ligules and a yellow-orange central disc. The flowering is generous and spans a long period. In its natural habitat, it extends from July to January. In cultivation in the northern hemisphere, it can bloom almost continuously from May to November in mild regions.
In cultivation, it prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil, in full sun. It tolerates slight drought but also accepts regular watering. Its hardiness is limited, around -5°C to -7°C only, which confines it to regions with mild winters or to pot culture brought indoors for protection.
