Bronze African Daisy Ostica (Osteospermum ecklonis) is a vibrant, early-flowering evergreen perennial known for its sophisticated autumnal tones. Part of the high-performance Ostica Series, this variety features large, daisy-like flowers in a stunning bronze-orange shade, centered with a deep, dark eye for maximum visual contrast.

The Ostica Series is specifically bred for a well-branched, mounded habit that stays compact and tidy. These resilient plants are "easy-care" favorites, offering incredible tolerance to drought, deer, heat, and coastal salt air. Whether you are looking for long-lasting color in patio pots, hanging baskets, or the front of a garden border, these African Daisies provide a constant supply of blooms that also make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Large, striking bronze-orange blooms that provide early-season color
  • Compact, well-branched growth habit (10–16 inches) that requires no staking
  • Attracts butterflies and pollinators with its nectar-rich flowers
  • Highly resilient: Tolerates drought, deer, fire, and coastal conditions
  • Versatile performer for sunny borders, containers, and rock gardens

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moderate to dry soil once established. Its mounding habit makes it an ideal "filler" for mixed containers. Hardy in USDA Zone 8, the Bronze African Daisy is a durable and eye-catching choice for gardeners seeking high-impact, low-maintenance color.
