Bright Lights Yellow African Daisy is the perfect sun loving annual for cool summer regions. Its bright sunny yellow petals surrounding its buttery yellow centers with burgundy tipped stamens make a wonderful low growing addition to your landscape garden or containers. There are also six more colors in the Bright Lights collection of African Daisies and they pair beautifully together.
Native to Africa, Zones 9a through 11b, it is a tender perennial in hot climates. In Zones 3-9 it is grown as an annual and here it shines the best due to its preference for cool summer climates where it will bloom all season long into the fall. In hot climates it will close up shop mid to late summer when the heat is on, and start flowering again when the temperatures cool.
Bright Lights Yellow African Daisy Care
If you give African Daisies the growing conditions they crave, they will perform for you all season long. A well draining rich soil is preferred with a soil pH of 5.8 to 6.2. It will not tolerate wet feet so proper garden soil is crucial. Fertilize one time for in ground plantings and on a regular regimen of every 3 to 4 weeks for container plants. It is relatively disease and insect resistant when planted properly.
Deadheading is not necessary as they put their spent flowers to bed, quickly covering them with new growth. If you want to, pinching or pruning back will encourage branching which encourages more flowering. Shearing will keep your plants in great shape although it is not required for good growth.
Bright Lights Yellow African Daisy Spacing
Proper plant spacing is important to help the plant retain its disease and insect resistance. Growing up to 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide, this sun loving annual has a compact mounding habit. Space plantings out 6 to 10 inches apart. Pair Bright Lights African Daisy with chartreuse colored sedum, and accent it with warm or cool colored sun loving annuals to provide a wonderful display in your garden bed or container.

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.
