Versatile, eye catching plants ideal for growing in dry, problem areas, This attractive African Daisy has unusual white and apricot bicoloured blooms, resembling the glow of an African summer moon. The bushy, free flowering plants art at home in borders or containers, attracting bees and butterflies.
Sowing Instructions. Sow in early spring in a good free draining seed compost barely covering the seed with compost. Make sure the compost is moist but not wet and seal in a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 10-15 days at 15-18C (60-65F). Do not exclude light which is beneficial to germination. A direct sowing can be made during late spring where they are to flower.
Growing Instructions. Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a warm sunny spot on light, well drained soil.
