Osteospermum ‘Avalanche’
African Daisy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.397.010
African Daisies are very popular annuals, sometimes surviving the winter in mild regions. Plants form a bushy mound, bearing a long display of daisy blooms. This Plant Select® winner is from the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa and is very cold hardy. It features huge flowers consisting of white petals surrounding a central gold button with a dark purple halo effect at its base, over a mat of succulent, green foliage. Flowers non-stop from midspring onward. In very hot regions, plants may stop blooming during the summer. Excellent for massing at the edge of a border, and especially great in containers and window boxes. Prune back by half in early spring. Prefers average moist soil but will not withstand standing water. USPP#22705: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
