Dimorphotheca ecklonis, also known as Cape marguerite, African daisy, Van Staden's river daisy, Sundays river daisy, white daisy bush, blue-and-white daisy bush, or star of the veldt is a perennial[2] ornamental plant that is native to South Africa. They are part of Asteraceae family [3]. They are common gardening plants due to the array of colors the come in, including yellow, orange, purple, white and pink.[4] They are cultivated in suitable climates as ornamental plants, but are native to South Africa.[4] They are now regarded as an invasive plant in parts of Australia, particularly Victoria and Western Australia.[5]
