Bright Lights™ Purple African Daisy

Bright Lights™ Purple is a compact African daisy with large purple daisies held above a mounded habit. It grows about 8–12 inches tall and wide, flowers from planting until hard frost, and tolerates heat. Use it as a colorful container filler or along sunny borders and edging. ## Placement and soil Give it part sun to full sun and a freely draining bed or pot. The Proven Winners plant profile lists average water needs and warns that constantly wet soil can harm the roots; let the surface of container mix dry before watering again. The page also notes that spent blooms are quickly covered, so routine deadheading is unnecessary.

Its extended spring-to-frost display makes it useful for seasonal color in beds and mass plantings. Use it as an annual in climates where it does not survive winter. ## Maintenance Choose a site with good drainage and water when the potting mix begins to dry at the surface. Light trimming is optional; remove damaged stems as needed.
