Osteospermum ecklonis, also known as the African Daisy, is a perennial that produces striking daisy-like flowers in shades of white, purple, and blue. It is valued for its long flowering season and tolerance of poor soils and dry conditions, making it an excellent choice for borders, beds, and containers.
Planting season: Spring to early summer Germination time: 10–20 days Position: Full sun, well-drained soil Days till maturity: 90–100 days Plant height: 30–60 cm
Growing instructions: Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after frost danger has passed. Water sparingly, as plants prefer drier conditions. Deadhead regularly to extend the flowering season. In frost-free areas, plants may overwinter as perennials.
