This plant has pink daisy flowers which droop from an orange central disk. It is a useful garden plant being drought, heat and humidity tolerant and will also grow in poor soils. It makes an excellent container plant and cut flower and can also be dried if you dry it upright rather than hanging it downwards. Beneficial insects are attracted to its central disk.
