African Daisy 200MM

Osteospermum ecklonis cvs. 'Assorted'

I am African Daisy. My family originated from Africa and the Middle East.

Habit Shrub - Masses of colour
Plant family Asteraceae
I am a family of daisies with particularly vibrant, showy and diverse flower colours. I flower for most of the year except mid-winter. I am naturally compact, tidy and floriferous without the need for dead heading or pruning. While I am happiest with a warm sunny aspect and fertile soils I cope well with poor soils and a range of conditions. while I tolerate some shade I will perform at my best and naturally develop good form in full sun I may become dormant in dry conditions but typically bounce back when provided with moisture. Adaptable I am just as happy in pots and containers as am planted out in the garden where I add colour to borders and other garden settings.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My naturally compact form make me ideal for mass planting, in borders, where I create a colourful show
My prolific flowers in a diverse range bright colours, some metallic, are on show in all but the coldest months
I grow well in pots and a great way to brighten up patios and paved areas
