Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

African daisy is a large of annuals with bright, sunny, daisy-like flowers and a creeping habit. The range of colors is just too large to list, and includes solids, bicolors, even ombre-like colors. Foliage is grey, silver, or green, depending on the variety. Leaves are generally lance-like and deeply cut. Grows about 8 to 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Blooms spring and summer. Flowers close at night and on cloudy days.
