Euryops pectinatus – Golden Shrub Daisy
From South Africa, which is a wonderful kingdom of flora and a source of many excellent gardening plants, comes this outstanding Daisy relative. It looks like a Marguerite Daisy in every way, but is much larger and more robust and has a very long flowering season.
With this spectacle of radiant flowers, it warms and illuminates any winter garden.
The Hebrew name of the plant is a good translation of the foreign name, which refers to the yellow flowers that look like large eyes and the leaves whose shape resembles a comb.
This bush reaches a height of 80 cm or a little more and a diameter of 100-120 cm and barely requires any cleaning or pruning, but it can be kept dense and more compact by partial pruning every year after flowering has ended.
Be careful with strong pruning, especially in the warm season, and if you must reduce its size considerably, prune it heavily but gradually in the fall or early spring. One may also occasionally clean up dried flowers.

This is a shrub recommended for almost any corner of the garden, as a hedge, as a central sculptural focal point or behind low shrubs that is also successful as a filler under trees.
Similarly, it can be planted in medium and large containers where it will succeed for many years despite its tendency to crowd.
