Description: Osteospermum have large, colorful, daisy-like blooms. Voltage Yellow is heat tolerant with a very nice mounding habit. The bright yellow blooms will brighten up any landscape or patio. They are the first Osteo to come into bloom and the last to stop blooming. Osteospermum blooms will close every evening, and open up again in early morning. Regular deadheading will encourage new blooms, and a light summer pruning may result in a fall flush of blooms after the weather cools off.
