dimorphotheca /ˌdʌɪmɔːfəˈθiːkə /noun1A southern African plant of the daisy family, sometimes grown as a border plant.- Genus Dimorphotheca, family Compositae.
In August and September of each year it becomes a magnificent carpet of colourful flowers with ursinias, arctotis, dimorphothecas, gazanias and mesembs (commonly known in South Africa as vygies)....- As time goes by, and as our winters become increasingly mild, as predicted, we may also be able to grow aloes (A. vera, however, prefers sub- or tropical conditions) and the wonderfully coloured dimorphothecas outside in the future in the hope that they may perennate.
1.1(In gardening) any of a number of plants of the genus Osteospermum that are similar to dimorphothecas. OriginModern Latin, from Greek dimorphos 'having two forms' + theca. |
