MAJEC™ Flamingo - Arctotis X hybrida

MAJEC™ Flamingo is a compact African daisy selected for its two-tone flowers and rounded form. Pink and orange rays with a dark brown center rise above soft silver foliage in a low mound. [Emerisa Gardens](https://emerisa.com/plant/arcfla4/arctotis-x-hybrida-majec-flamingo) lists spring and summer bloom and a mature size of 6–12 inches tall by 2–3 feet wide. ## Appearance and placement Use this selection at a sunny border edge, in a container, or as low groundcover with generous drainage. Its broad spread can soften the edge of a path or raised bed. The exact listing describes an evergreen perennial in mild climates and notes that the daisies may close under cloudy conditions, as is common in Arctotis. Green Fuse’s [MAJEC culture sheet](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Arctotis-MAJEC.pdf) lists landscape, container, and groundcover uses for the series. ## Growing conditions Provide full sun and freely draining soil; sandy soil suits the plant. The nursery describes moderate to dry watering and heat tolerance. Water while roots establish, then let the soil dry somewhat between irrigations. NC State Extension gives broader Arctotis guidance for sunny sites and cautions against wet soil; its general hardiness range applies to the genus, not specifically to this selection. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep the mound tidy. Check occasionally for aphids, spider mites, or leaf miners, and avoid persistently wet soil. The [Green Fuse series catalog](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GreenFuse-Catalog-2025-26-singles.pdf) identifies Flamingo among the MAJEC colors and describes the rounded habit and season-long flowering.
