Asti™ Lavender Shades African Daisy

Asti Lavender Shades is a seed-grown Osteospermum ecklonis selection in Syngenta Flowers’ Asti series, identified by product code 70019997. Syngenta describes a mounding form for full sun, 17–20 in. garden height and width, and flowering in mid-spring and fall; it classifies the crop as an annual. The Lavender Shades name identifies its selection color and distinguishes it from Asti Purple, Purple Bicolor, White, and Mix. [Syngenta’s exact Asti Lavender Shades page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70019997) supplies the product identity and growing profile. For garden placement, [Illinois Extension’s osteospermum guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/osteospermum) recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil and notes that many cultivars flower in spring and fall but may slow in heat. That is broader species-level advice, not a separate hardiness claim for Asti Lavender Shades. ## Maintenance Site in full sun and well-drained soil. Keep moisture appropriate to the site, avoiding prolonged saturation; water needs depend on weather and planting conditions. Expect spring and fall flowering, with summer pauses possible in hot climates.
