Daisy Seeds

The sun-loving flower worth a spot in your garden

Cape daisy (Osteospermum), also called African daisy, is a vibrant flowering plant grown for its classic daisy form: bold rays of color around a striking central disc, often in shades of purple, pink, orange, white, and gold. Native to South Africa, it loves heat and sun and blooms freely from summer into fall. Compact and tidy, cape daisy is superb for edging borders, filling containers and hanging baskets, and adding a wash of bright color to any sunny spot in the garden.

How to grow daisies from seed

Cape daisy is quick and rewarding to start from seed. Sow daisy seeds about an eighth of an inch deep in full sun and well-drained soil after the last frost, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for an earlier show. Space plants around 10 to 12 inches apart, keep them watered until established, then let them soak up the sun. Deadheading spent blooms keeps the flowers coming. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing cape daisy from seed.

How to use daisies

Daisies are grown for pure ornamental cheer, bringing bright, long-lasting color to borders, container plantings, hanging baskets, and cutting gardens. Their open, nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies, making them a friendly addition to any pollinator patch. Cape daisy flowers close in low light and open again with the sun, adding a bit of daily magic. Cut stems also make bright, cheerful additions to summer bouquets.
