Rhodanthemum ‘Marrakech’, commonly known as Moroccan daisy ‘Marrakech’, is a compact evergreen perennial that brings long-lasting colour to sunny gardens. Its finely cut, silvery-green foliage forms a neat mound throughout the year, while soft pink daisy-like flowers appear in abundance from spring into late summer.

The open blooms sit on softly hairy stems above the foliage, creating a natural display that works beautifully in rockeries, raised beds, gravel gardens and patio containers. Its compact size and drought tolerance make it particularly useful in smaller gardens and low-maintenance planting schemes.

Easy to grow and attractive to pollinators, Rhodanthemum ‘Marrakech’ offers colour, texture and wildlife value throughout the growing season.
