Ursinia - Ursinia anthemoides - Graceful flowers, an enchanting garden display - Fresh Seeds

Ursinia (Ursinia anthemoides) is an exceptionally striking annual plant with a spherical, compact habit, growing to approximately 40 cm in height. Its large, orange flowers with a dark ring in the centre resemble sunbeams captured in petals. They bring warmth, joy and energy to the garden, making every flower bed look like a miniature summer sun. It is an excellent choice for those who wish to create a colourful corner without the need for complicated care. The flowers last for a long time, adorning the garden continuously for the better part of summer, from June right through to September. It blends perfectly with other flowering plants on borders, rock gardens and in pots on a terrace or balcony.

Sowing depth

Ursinia seeds should be sown at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. These conditions provide them with the optimal substrate for rapid and even germination.

Sowing time in the ground

Sowing directly into the ground is carried out in May, once the soil has warmed up sufficiently and the risk of frost has passed completely. Warmth during this period favours a healthy start for the plants.

Sowing time under cover

Seeds can be sown under covers as early as April. This allows you to obtain strong, earlier seedlings which, after transplanting into the garden, will bloom faster, pleasing the eye from the beginning of summer.

Planting time

Ursinia seedlings are planted out into the ground in May, once the cold nights have subsided. Young plants immediately begin to grow intensively, creating dense, green clumps full of buds.

Spacing

Seedlings should be spaced every 20 x 20 cm. This distance ensures they have adequate space for development while causing the flowers to form an impressive, colourful carpet.

Flowering time

Ursinia blooms from June to September. Throughout the summer, it delights with its intense colour and abundant flowering, regardless of whether it grows in a garden, a rockery or a pot on a terrace.

Cultivation

Ursinia grows best in fully sunny and warm places that are sheltered from strong winds. It likes light, permeable and moderately fertile soils. It does not tolerate excessive waterlogging, so it is worth ensuring good drainage. During prolonged drought, it requires watering, but it withstands short periods of dryness better than overwatering. It is a grateful and low-maintenance plant. Its sunny colours attract bees and butterflies, enlivening the garden and giving it a natural, friendly character.
