Euryops chrysanthemoides (with the common names African bush daisy or bull's-eye) is a small shrub native to Southern Africa that is also grown as a horticultural specimen in tropical to subtropical regions around the world. It is a compact, densely branched, leafy, evergreen shrub, 0.5 to 2m in height.
Tolerates poor soil, heat, and drought. Does best in light, well-drained soil. Allow soil to dry between thorough waterings. Trim back lightly after flowering.
Light: Full sun to partial shade in western shade in Phoenix is best. Soil: Foliar chlorosis or yellowing is a very common problem in alkaline soils or when near pools where chlorinated water over splash is a problem.
Fertilize in spring with an all-purpose fertilizer. As a rule, the stems of the Euryops daisy are sturdy, but occasional staking is necessary.
They prefer a warm sunny position in well-drained soil where they will flower away from midsummer onwards.
You can also trim it back all through the growing season by cutting off the spent flowers along with several inches of stem.
Euryops pectinatus has no toxic effects reported. The flowers are yellow daisies, 30-40 mm across with 15-30 bright yellow ray florets and deep golden yellow disc florets which are carried well above the leaves on thin, wiry stalks 100-150 mm long.
