Akila® Mixture Osteospermum

Akila Mixture is a seed-grown African daisy selection in PanAmerican Seed’s Akila osteospermum series. The breeder’s exact product page identifies the species as Osteospermum ecklonis and lists a mounded form, 10–14 in. height, 14–20 in. spread, sun exposure, and flowering from early through late spring. The product is named Mixture; the available listing does not specify a fixed color recipe, so the mix should be identified by its selection name rather than an assumed set of colors. PanAmerican describes the Akila series as suitable for containers and mass plantings and says established, full plants are drought tolerant. [The exact Mixture page](https://www.panamseed.com/products/046106258003332/osteospermum-akila-mixture/) provides current dimensions and culture information. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/osteospermum) gives broader species-level garden context, including full sun, moist well-drained soil, and spring/fall use; it does not establish cultivar-specific hardiness. ## Maintenance Provide sun and well-drained soil, and water while plants establish and through prolonged dry weather. PanAmerican’s drought-tolerance note applies once plants are established. Many osteospermums may pause flowering during heat, so seasonal flowering varies with local conditions.
