Plant in full sun. Very low water needs. Cold hardy to 20-25 degrees F (Zone 9).

This plant is likely a Venidio-Arctotis hybrid or Arctotis Harlequin Hybrid (syn. Arctotis hybrida, X Venidioarctotis) which involved crossing and back crossing several species including Arctotis venusta grandis and Venidium [now Acrtotis] fastuosa. Hardy to 20 to 25° F. This plant is the product of a breeding program conducted by Graham Brown in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia with the objective of creating new early flowering compact Arctotis cultivars with interesting-colored flowers. This plant originated from a cross made in 1998 between Arctotis 'Flame' and Arctotis 'Silver Carpet'. It was granted the now expired US Patent PP14,667 in April 2004. We discontinued production of this plant in 2014. 

This information about Arctotis Sun Spot Orange ['Archley'] PP14,667 displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
