Dorotheanthus bellidiformis is naturally found in South Africa growing in well drained sandy-stony soils with low fertility and moisture content in an open sunny position and is frost tender but drought tolerant.

The Livingstone Daisy is grown for its flowers and its drought tolerance. It is planted in sunny rockeries or mass planted along front borders in small or arid gardens. It is ideal for patio post and planter boxes tolerating exposed positions. It is suitable for coastal and inland regions and requires little care. This fast growing succulent establishes in one season producing a long flowering period. ID 767
