This beauty likes to soak in the sun for as much of the day as possible. Although it will not require any sun or heat protection, it should be positioned in a spot where it will not get battered by wind. Plant in well-draining soil, being careful not to overwater. Pinch back early blooms if you desire a bushy look, and do deadhead spent blooms as the season progresses. This will keep the plant looking tidy, and it will encourage new blooms. Suitable for both in-ground and container planting.

Look to this orange and purple African Daisy to make a real statement in your garden. Petal tips of sunset orange gradually morph to a gorgeous purple at each flower's center. While these two colors contrast with each other for a unique look, the overall effect is somewhat earth-toned rather than jarring, owing to the ombre-style color change. This overall effect is what has made this particular cultivar part of the Zion™ series of African Daisies, bred in colors that mimic those seen in Zion National Park, Utah. Think of a gorgeous sunset over earth-toned cliffs, and you'll be on your way to envisioning the blooms on this tender perennial, of no interest to deer and rabbits, which adds garden color from spring to fall.
