Article: Growing Osteospermum, The African Daisy: African daisies

Author Content nugemk22 Pueblo, CO May 8, 2008 1:49 PM Post #4923456 Just moved to Pueblo Co and bought this flower for the first time. Your article was much appreciated since I knew very little about the flower. Not sure what grows here as of yet... but these look good. Thanks flwrpwr40 Clinton, NY May 9, 2008 1:10 AM Post #4926257 Thanks. I've planted these in the past but when it got hot during the summer I was disappointed in them. I think I'll plant them in a different area. It gets to warm on the patio. marydigsplants Lees Summit, MO May 11, 2008 12:29 PM Post #4935819 I plant these in a mixed container in spring with heat lovers like verberna and tradescantia. When it gets too hot for the osteospermum, the verbena takes over. The African daisies to appreciate some afternoon shade in our hot summers. gardengirl86 Middleboro, MA September 26, 2010 5:05 AM Post #8121489 I want to grow these for my nephew's wedding. The white ones with the purple centers are his fiancee's wedding colors and she is enchanted with this beautiful flower. Any idea where I could get seeds or establised plants for next summer? I have not seen them in the catalogs that I have mailed to me. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. melody Benton, KY (Zone 7a) September 26, 2010 5:54 AM Post #8121546 Our PlantScout plantfinder tool is a great way to locate special plants.
