African Daisy (Dimorphotheca Sinuata Yellow) - African Daisy is also known as the Cape Marigold. It is easily grown from flower seeds, and it is one of the most colorful flowers for a beautiful garden. The plant is excellent for naturalized areas and as ground cover for large areas, for parking strips, borders, large pots and tubs. The flowers are 1-1/2 inch wide flowers, which close at night, in the shade, and during cloud cover. The flower colors are available in shades of white, orange, yellow and salmon. This variety is a gorgeous yellow.
The African daisy plant is exceptional for hot, sun-drenched landscapes. Like many of the plants in the daisy family from South Africa, it's tough enough to live in hot, dry conditions, but a good watering once or twice a week will keep the blooms vibrant. Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring after frost season is completely over. Keep the flower seeds moist until germination. To prolong blooming, remove faded flowers.
Common Questions
Are African Daisies Perennial?
Whether African daisies return every year depends on the location where they are planted. In USDA hardiness zones 10-11, African daisies can grow as perennials, coming back each year. However, in colder regions falling within USDA hardiness zones 9 or lower, African daisies need to be planted annually, requiring replanting each year.
Do African daisies bloom all summer?
If planted in cooler summer environments, yes, African daises will bloom from spring to the next frost. If grown in a place that has very hot summers, African daises will only bloom from late spring until early summer, completely stopping their growth once the weather becomes hot and dry.
