Sangria Red African Daisy Summersmile (Osteospermum) is a high-performance evergreen perennial bred to dominate the summer garden. While many African Daisies stop blooming when the temperature rises, the Summersmile Series is specifically engineered for superior heat tolerance, ensuring a prolific display of dark red, velvety blooms from spring all the way through fall.

This "Sangria" variety features a bushy, upright, and well-branched growth habit that stays tidy without the need for constant maintenance. It is an exceptionally tough plant, offering natural resistance to drought, deer, and coastal salt spray. Whether planted in garden borders, patio containers, or mixed hanging baskets, its deep red flowers provide a rich, jewel-toned contrast that attracts butterflies and pollinators throughout the growing season.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Superior Heat Tolerance: Bred to keep blooming through the summer heat when other varieties fade.
  • Prolific Dark Red Blooms: Massive flower count with a rich, "Sangria" wine-red hue.
  • Bushy & Upright Habit: Reaches 18 inches tall with excellent branching for a full, lush appearance.
  • Durable & Resilient: Drought tolerant, deer resistant, and coastal hardy.
  • Pollinator Friendly: A favorite nectar source for butterflies and bees.

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun and prefers moderate to dry, well-drained soil. With its clump-forming habit and reliable summer performance, it is the perfect "anchor" plant for sunny pots or landscape beds. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11, the Sangria Summersmile African Daisy is the ultimate choice for long-lasting, vibrant color.
