Weed library - Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula)


Capeweed is an annual germinating plant, with seedlings generally appearing during the autumn and winter. 

As plants develop, they grow into a rosette, or whorl of leaves close to the ground. 

They produce 'daisy-like' yellow flower heads with blackish/purple centres.

Control Tips


  • Spray weeds when they are small, young and actively growing in the rosette stage.

  • DO NOT spray when the plant is stressed (i.e. Drought, physical damage, insect damage, frost)
