Notes

'Lemon Symphony' African daisy (Osteospermum 'Lemon Symphony') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought and salt.

Pairs well with Mexican daisy, Yarrow, and Lollipop purple top.
