Nycterinia

From LoveToKnow Garden

Nycterinia - Half-hardy annuals from the Cape of Good Hope. N. selaginoides grows about 9 inches high, forming dense compact tufts of slender stems, in late autumn covered with small white, orange-centered blossoms fragrant at night. N. capensis is about the same size as N. selaginoides, and is of similar growth, its flowers larger, and not of so pure a white. N. selaginoides and N. capensis require to be sown early in heat, and to be transplanted in May in light, rich sandy loam in warm borders.
