Flower Power™ Spider White African Daisy

FlowerPower™ Spider White is an early-season African daisy with white, distinctive spoon-shaped petals and an upright, branching habit. Selecta lists the selection at 10–14 inches tall and 14–20 inches wide, for full sun, pots, and landscape plantings. [Selecta North America](https://www.selectanorthamerica.com/SpringPlants/SeriesInfo/?phid=046103827015832) ## Garden use Use the upright plants in sunny containers or seasonal beds where their unusual white flowers can stand apart from simpler daisy forms. Illinois Extension describes Osteospermum as a cool-season flowering annual useful in containers; flowering may slow during hot weather, so spring and fall are often the strongest display periods in warm-summer regions. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/osteospermum) ## Growing conditions Provide full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Selecta's grower guidance recommends allowing the growing medium to dry between waterings while avoiding extremes of drought and saturation. This is useful container guidance; garden watering should respond to rainfall, temperature, and soil drainage. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers and lightly trim any shoots that lose their shape. Protect plants from hard freezes where they are grown as seasonal bedding annuals. Kew places Osteospermum in the daisy family, Asteraceae.
