Growing Osteospermum (African Daisy) Successfully

Pronunciation: oss-tee-oh-spur'-muh

Plant osteospermum in full sun with average to dry soil. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Blooming may slow or stop during peak summer heat but resumes when temperatures moderate. When grown as a container plant in summer, it transitions nicely to a sunny windowsill for winter. (Plants dug from the ground in fall typically struggle indoors.) Hardy to Zone 9 (20°F).
