The African Daisy is a prolific bloomer, producing lots of orange and yellow daisy-shaped flowers from June through frost. Deadheading will lengthen blooming.

You can start them indoors in northern climes or just direct seed after frost. Plants may also reseed. They are quick to establish, with a somewhat weedy growth habit. As their latin name would suggest, they tend to grow in serpentine spirals. Once they begin blooming they don't stop.

Flowers are best in morning, and close up in late afternoon or heavy overcast. They like cool, dry weather.
