African Daisy

Truly unique flowers in shades of pink and purple have a domed, anemone-form center that keeps the blossoms open day and night! Most other African daisies close up when skies are dark. Great in the garden or containers. Cut back in late summer to encourage re-blooming and keep plants tidy.
