Maintenance Notes:Deadheading not necessary for continuous bloom. Plants will "bury their dead" (new flowers will quickly cover old flowers) so no deadheading necessary. Bright Lights Osteospermum do not like having wet feet and will react badly to constantly wet soil. Be sure to allow soil in containers to get dry on top before watering and only plant Bright Lights in ground beds with good drainage. While it shouldn't be necessary you can trim your plants with a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears at any time.
A yearly application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

Planned for and Purchased three plants for filling mid front border garden. Full sun until early evening. Prepared bed, weed barrier fabric and wood chip mulch. Planted the bed May 1, 2020. Watered for the first 10 days. Walked away. These plants glowed all summer. We had a wet May and June but turned to very dry July, August, September. Simple easy deadheaded spent flowers. Note I never watered after the initial 10 days. Other plants in the bed suffered but the Proven Winners African Daisies along with salvia and others flourished. Guest always wanted to know what and all about these beautiful daisies. I will add these for years to come.

Purchased 6 Bright Lights White this year and planted in landscaping bed with full sun. We had a cooler Spring in VA, and these performed very well. Blooms galore, nice leaves, decent size, mounding. Gorgeous in May and June. I have not found them to be heat tolerant at all. All are very sad now that we are in July. I’ve tried potting two so I can decide if they can grow in 7b humid summers. SoJury still out in August. Right now just barely alive.
