Zion™ Red African Daisy

Zion™ Red is an African daisy selection with a full, upright, well-branched habit and red daisy flowers. Selecta lists it for sunny pot and landscape plantings; its mature size is about 16–20 inches tall and 16–24 inches wide. ## Placement and soil Choose a sunny site with room for the plant to spread. The breeder’s exact Zion™ Red culture sheet lists a pH of 5.8–6.2 for production media and recommends letting the substrate dry regularly between waterings. For garden soil, the University of Illinois Extension’s general Osteospermum profile recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil; adjust watering to the site and avoid waterlogged conditions.

The 16–24-inch spread allows it to fill a large container or a sunny part of a planting bed. Its named red selection provides a clear accent among other annual flowers. ## Maintenance Water according to the soil and weather, allowing excess water to drain away. Check container moisture more often during warm, windy weather and reduce watering when growth slows.
