Daisy Yellow Symphony

The Daisy Yellow Symphony, 'Osteospermum Yellow Symphony, is popular in the nursery trade. Numerous hybrids and cultivars have been grown with a wide range of tropical colors. Plants prefer a warm and sunny position and rich soil, although they tolerate poor soil, salt or drought well. Modern cultivars flower continuously when watered and fertilized well, and dead heading is not necessary, because they do not set seed easily. If planted in a container, soil should be prevented from drying out completely. If they do, the plants will go into sleep mode and survive the period of drought, but they will abort their flower buds and not easily come back into flower. Moreover, roots are relatively susceptible to rotting if watered too profusely after the dry period.
