Euryops

Euryops tysonii is a low-growing shrub from the Drakensberg, now widely cultivated as a rock garden plant (Heronswood Garden, Washington, June 2023). Image John Grimshaw.

A genus of about 100 species of evergreen shrubs, natives of Africa, with conspicuous yellow flower-heads borne singly on leafless stalks. Only the species described here is widely cultivated, but others, such as E. pectinatus and E. virgineus, are sometimes cultivated outdoors in the mildest parts. The standard work on the genus is: B. Nordenstam, ‘The Genus Euryops’, in Opera Botanica (Lund), No. 20 (1968).
