Yellow African Daisy Summersmile (Osteospermum) is a high-energy, evergreen perennial bred to thrive in the heat. While many African Daisies stop flowering when temperatures peak, the Summersmile Series is specifically engineered for superior summer performance, providing a prolific display of sunny yellow blooms from spring all the way through fall.

This variety features a bushy, upright, and well-branched growth habit that stays full and tidy without needing constant attention. It is an exceptionally tough plant, offering natural resistance to drought, deer, and coastal salt spray. Whether planted in sunny garden borders, high-contrast patio containers, or mixed hanging baskets, its cheerful yellow flowers provide a vibrant "pop" of color that attracts butterflies and pollinators throughout the entire growing season.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Superior Heat Tolerance: Specifically bred to keep blooming through the hot summer months when other varieties go dormant.
  • Prolific Yellow Blooms: Features a massive flower count with bright, sun-drenched yellow petals.
  • Bushy & Upright Habit: Reaches 18 inches tall with excellent natural branching for a lush, professional look.
  • Durable & Resilient: Naturally drought tolerant, deer resistant, and coastal hardy.
  • Pollinator Friendly: A reliable nectar source that keeps butterflies and bees visiting your garden.

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun and prefers moderate to dry, well-drained soil. Its resilient nature and tidy mounding habit make it a perfect "thriller" for summer pots or a vibrant ground-filler for sunny landscape beds. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11, the Yellow Summersmile African Daisy is the ultimate choice for reliable, season-long color.
