African Daisy

Osteospermum Asti White produces blooms of white petals with a deep indigo center disk that extend just above the deep green foliage. The Osteospermum is commonly referred to as an African Daisy. The bright ever-blooming flowers are about 2-3” wide, having a large floret surrounding a center disk. The Asti Osteospermum have an excellent tolerance for heart and drought. The Asti Osteospermum are desired most for their beautiful foliage, large, plentiful blooms extending above the foliage, tolerance for heat and its unusual color combinations. This is a great annual for Spring, Summer, and Fall. With the upright, compact habit of the Asti Osteospermum, this is a lovely choice for mixed containers and beds. 

Height 16-20 Inches

Spread 16-20 Inches

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips Akila Osteospermum prefers full sun to partial shade and a bit milder climates. It prefers average, moist but well-drained soil. Trimming back dead blossoms encourages new blooms. Please remember, containers aren’t as drought resistant, they may need a little extra TLC and consistent watering if in containers!
