The African daisy (Osteospermum) is a popular flowering plant native to Africa. It belongs to the family Asteraceae and is also known by its common names Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. African daisies are known for their showy, daisy-like flowers that come in a wide range of colors, including white, pink, purple, orange, and yellow. They bloom from early spring to late fall and are a great addition to gardens, borders, and containers. The leaves of African daisies are green and lance-shaped. They grow in a clump and can reach up to a foot in height. The flowers are large, up to 4 inches in diameter, and have a central disk surrounded by bright colored petals. African daisies are easy to care for and require full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are drought-tolerant and do not require frequent watering. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage more flowers to bloom. Overall, African daisies are a great choice for adding color and vibrancy to any garden or landscape.
