Commonly called Cape Marigold this flowering annual produces large blooms in brilliant shades of white, yellow, and orange. African Daisy is very easy to grow from seeds, and this excellent variety will produce extravagant colors for weeks.

Dimorphotheca Sinuata seeds germinate quickly, and African Daisy likes full sun and hot, dry weather that is similar to its natural habitat. Cape Marigold is very drought tolerant, and this plant can tolerate some cool humid climate.
