About this Plant
White African Daisy Summersmile (Osteospermum) is a high-performance evergreen perennial designed for the sun-drenched garden. Unlike traditional African Daisies that pause their blooming during the peak of summer, the Summersmile Series is specially bred for exceptional heat tolerance, providing a prolific display of soft white flowers from spring all the way through fall.
This variety features a bushy, upright habit with excellent branching, creating a full and lush appearance in the landscape. The crisp, white petals surround a dark center, offering a clean and sophisticated look that complements any garden color palette. Exceptionally hardy and easy to maintain, it is naturally resistant to drought, deer, and coastal salt spray, making it a reliable choice for both garden borders and decorative patio containers.
Why you’ll love it:
- Extended Bloom Season: Bred to withstand summer heat for continuous flowering from spring to fall.
- Prolific Soft White Flowers: Clean, bright blooms that provide a classic, elegant look.
- Bushy & Well-Branched: Maintains a tidy, upright habit reaching 18 inches tall.
- Low Maintenance: Drought tolerant and deer resistant once established.
- Pollinator Magnet: Attracts butterflies and bees to your garden all season long.
This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun and prefers moderate to dry, well-drained soil. Its resilient nature and mounding growth habit make it a versatile performer for mixed containers, hanging baskets, or sunny garden beds. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11, the White Summersmile African Daisy is a dependable favorite for long-lasting summer color.
