The following information is from Botanica. There are several species of the Euryops. This is probably the one you have. Euryops chrysanthemoides; family name: Asteraceae
Common name(s): Paris daisy
Synonym(s): Gamolepis chrysanthemoides
Growing to around 3 feet (1 m) high, this shrub has soft, irregularly serrated leaves and in winter is covered with yellow daisylike flower heads; these continue sporadically through most of the year. It does well in warm, dry climates; in cool areas it makes an attractive potted plant.
Hardiness zones: 9 to 11; plant height approximately 120 cm
Flowering colors: yellow
Flowering season: spring, summer, autumn, winter
Garden type : rockery/bank, container
Position: sunny
Propagation season: spring, summer
Soil: sandy loam, medium loam
Euryops cultivation: Frost hardiness varies between species. Generally, a well-drained soil and a position in full sun are the main requirements of this attractive genus, otherwise the shrubs tend to grow leggy and the flowers are not as plentiful. They respond to light pruning after the flowers have faded but do not respond well to root disturbance. Propagate from seed in spring or cuttings in summer.
