Description

Euryops 'Infinity' is a variety of African bush daisy that is particularly compact, relatively hardy (down to -7°C), and prized for its endless bright yellow flowering and its finely cut evergreen foliage. This bushy and well-branched plant is also charming for its easy maintenance and drought resistance when planted in the ground. In beds or pots, summer or winter, it shines like the sun!

Euryops 'Infinity' belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is nicknamed "shrub daisy," "Cape marguerite," or "African bush daisy." 'Infinity' is a hybrid, likely resulting from the cross-breeding between Euryops pectinatus and E. chrysanthemoides, two South African species. This is a fast-growing shrubby perennial. It forms a small, dense, rounded bush, reaching 50 to 70 cm in height and 50 cm in width. The stems are semi-woody at the base, with flexible, well-branched stems. The foliage can be evergreen in winter, provided it doesn't freeze too hard. It consists of finely divided, 4 to 10 cm long leaves, which are dark green to grey-green depending on the season. They give the plant a light and airy appearance. The flowering is one of the major assets of this Euryops 'Infinity'. The flower heads, resembling daisies, feature bright yellow ligulate florets surrounding a central disc of the same colour. Each head is about 5 cm in diameter, borne on a long, upright stem. Flowering lasts from spring to autumn, with peaks at the start and end of the season, and can extend into winter in mild climates.

Euryops are easy-to-grow plants in mild climates, where they prove extremely generous. In a coastal garden, pair the 'Infinity' variety with lavandins, Santolina chamaecyparissus, Helichrysum italicum, or even Gaura lindheimeri 'Whirling Butterflies': all share the same cultivation requirements and complement its sunny flowering. It withstands wind and sea spray, tolerates drought, and adapts to any well-drained soil. It will thrive in a large pot on a sheltered terrace or balcony. Gardeners in more continental regions, where winters are harsh and wet, should bring it indoors to a lightly heated greenhouse.

Planting and care

Plant Euryops 'Infinity' in the ground or in pots. In the garden, place it in ordinary, well-loosened, sandy, stony or humus-bearing soil, not too rich but very well-drained. This plant tolerates limestone in the soil quite well, but it struggles with clay soils and waterlogged conditions in winter, which reduce its hardiness. It will regrow fairly easily from the ground in spring if the aerial parts have been damaged by frost, down to -7°C. Good protection such as winter fleece should be provided in the garden. Summer drought is not a problem once the Euryops is well-rooted, but occasional watering will encourage flowering. Euryops prefers naturally temperate climates near the sea or ocean. It tolerates sea spray well and thrives in sunny positions. Regularly remove faded flowers, and prune after each flush of flowering: new growth occurs even on woody stems.

Container cultivation: prepare a mix of garden soil, perlite, leaf compost and coarse sand. Fill a pot of 30 to 50 cm in diameter, with the bottom lined with a thick drainage layer made of clay pebbles, pumice or broken terracotta. Monitor watering in summer and apply slow-release fertiliser in spring. Repot every 2 years into a slightly larger container. Overwinter the plant frost-free and reduce watering.

Propagation by cuttings after flowering, or by sowing, should be done occasionally to rejuvenate this short-lived plant.

Pests and diseases: no specific diseases are known in our climate.

Care

Pruning instructions Regularly remove faded flowers, and prune after each wave of flowering: new growth can occur even on woody stems. This is also a good solution to help this plant branch out closer to the crown and thus age more gracefully, as it tends to thin out at the base over time.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
Pruning time June to July, October
Disease resistance Very good
Overwinter Needs to be stored
