Summary
Euryops chrysanthemoides, commonly known as Bull’s Eye, is an evergreen subshrub native to the open scrublands and rocky slopes of South Africa, particularly in the Western Cape. It typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 2 meters and is densely branched with a leafy appearance. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and deeply dissected, giving a fine-textured look to the foliage. From summer to fall, it produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that are quite showy and attract pollinators.
Bull’s Eye is valued for its long blooming period and vibrant yellow flowers that can add a splash of color to any garden. It is often used in borders, as a ground cover, or in container plantings in warm climates. This subshrub is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping and low-water gardens. It thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil. While generally low-maintenance, it may require occasional pruning to maintain its compact form and to encourage more prolific blooming.CC BY-SA 4.0
