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.
