Osteospermum Zion Red

Common Name:
Osteospermum 'Zion Red'

Description:
Osteospermum 'Zion Red' is a striking African Daisy variety known for its bold, fiery red-orange petals that radiate from a deep purple centre. Inspired by the rich hues of Zion National Park, this vibrant perennial blooms prolifically from spring through autumn, adding a dramatic splash of colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, 'Zion Red' is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for Australian gardens.
