Common Questions

Q

Are African Daisies Perennial?

A

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.

Q

Do African daisies bloom all summer?

A

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.
