Osteospermum (Osteospermum spp.), commonly known as African daisy, is a flowering plant valued for its bright, daisy-like blooms and compact, mounding growth habit. Flowers appear in shades of purple, pink, white, yellow, and bi-colors, often with dark contrasting centers. It provides long-lasting color in garden beds, borders, and containers and performs best during the cooler parts of the growing season.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and lightly trim if plants become leggy
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to support consistent blooming
