African Daisies bloom profusely during the spring and summer months, often continuing into the fall. They tend to close their flowers during the night and open them in the morning when exposed to sunlight. The foliage is generally gray-green, finely divided, and slightly hairy, adding textural interest to the plant. African Daisies thrive in well-draining soil and require full sun to bloom prolifically. They're drought-tolerant once established and prefer warmer temperatures. These flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies, contributing to the pollinator population in gardens.

They are also commonly used as ground cover in suitable climates. These plants are relatively low-maintenance. Regular deadheading of spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming, and they benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape and promote new growth. African Daisy is treasured for its colorful and prolific blooms, its ability to thrive in sunny conditions, and its versatility in various garden settings, making it a favored choice among gardeners seeking vibrant and easy-to-care-for flowering plants. *Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.
