Dimorphotheca sinuata is an annual that grows up to 300 mm tall. The leaves are light green when mature with shallowly lobed margins. They are slender, spoon-shaped, reaching up to 80 mm long. The stems are reddish in colour and are often covered by the masses of leaves around them. The Namaqualand or African daisy is a particularly attractive species of the genus Dimorphotheca, with remarkably big orange flowers that have orange centres (sometimes they may be yellow, depending on the locality). They need full sun to open and they always face the sun. Around the centre at the bottom of the petals is a narrow, greenish mauve ring. The flowering time is mid-winter to mid-autumn. The flowers are up to 80 mm across and are borne singularly at the tip of each branch. Selected forms of Namaqualand daisies are available for cultivation in a variety of shades such as orange, cream, yellow and salmon. The seeds that appear soon after the flowers wilt are brownish and papery. They are easily blown away by the wind, so they need to be collected as early as possible.
