Move over daisy and hello Bright Lights™ Red African Daisy Osteospermum hybrid! The vivid red color is what sets this gem apart from the classic daisy. What it lacks in stature, at 12 inches in height, makes up for its continual red, reblooming flowers. The green leaves and prolific flowers create a mounding habit. This is an excellent addition to garden beds and containers from spring till fall.
Native to South Africa, Osteospermum is heat tolerant. It can be incorporated in borders, edging, and used in mass planting throughout the landscape. This African daisy can also be used in a container as a filler. It will add just the right pop of red color to accent any plant combination.
Bright Lights Red African Daisy Care
African daisies typically are more prolific in full sun but can tolerate part shade. Partial shade can decrease bloom production. Old blooms can be trimmed anytime, but there is no need to deadhead. The new flowers shade out the older spent blooms. This plant prefers well-drained acidic soil. It sulks in wet soil conditions, so allow the soil to dry out in between watering. Add fertilizer or compost to garden beds once a year. Apply fertilizer routinely, when growing Bright Lights Red African Daisy in containers for best results.
Bright Lights Red African Daisy is an annual in zones 8 and below. It does not overwinter outdoors and will die after a hard frost.
Bright Lights Red African Daisy Spacing
Plant osteospermum in a 12-inch combination container and allow at least a 6-inch gap between plants. Mass planting is the best technique when incorporating Bright Lights Red African Daisy into the landscape. Allow a 6 to 10 inch spacing between plants.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
