Description:
The name 'Viridis' comes from the Latin and is used here to describe a
green-leaved version of the yellow daisy bush, Euryops pectinatus. With it
finely divided green leaves and abundant yellow daisies, the green leaf
form is worth a place in the garden. It likes similar conditions to the parent
and is a reliable plant in the garden. Avoid giving to too much water in the
dry months so as not to encourage soft growth that will attract aphids.
