Notes

'Soprano Purple' African daisy (Osteospermum 'Soprano Purple') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers.

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