MAJEC™ Scarlet - Arctotis X hybrida

MAJEC™ Scarlet is an evergreen African daisy with orange-red flowers and silvery foliage on a low, trailing mound. The broad groundcover form brings a long season of color to sunny beds, rock gardens, and containers. ## Garden use [Heron’s Head Nursery](https://heronsheadnursery.com/products/arctotis-majec-scarlet) lists this exact selection at 6–12 inches tall and 24–36 inches wide, with flowers in spring, summer, and again in fall. The nursery describes it as a groundcover for containers and notes that it attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Green Fuse identifies Scarlet in the rounded, silver-leaved MAJEC series in its [breeder catalog](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GreenFuse-Catalog-2025-26-singles.pdf). ## Growing conditions Plant in full sun or part sun in soil that drains freely.
