African Daisy 'Sunshine Beauty' Quart

Osteospermum ecklonis

This African daisy or Osteospermum variety is graced with blooms of vibrant orange fading to yellow petals and a showy, dark purple eye over vigorous, repeat blooming, mounded yet compact habit. These annuals make wonderful fillers that work well in sunny hanging baskets, mixed containers and landscape beds. They are attractive to pollinators, deer resistant, drought tolerant, and make good cut flowers. Plant with Nemesia, Coleus, Calibrachoas, and Angelonia. Grow in sunny areas, well-drained, amended soil or containers. Feed with a slow release fertilizer following label instructions. No deadheading is necessary, new flowers will cover the old, but trimming occasionally can promote better blooming and a tidy habit. Mulch 2? to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. They prefer cooler temperatures of the spring and early fall, and will bloom throughout summer if they receive morning sun and afternoon shade.
