About -

Bring a burst of sunshine to your garden with Richgrow Seeds Dimorphotheca Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Dimorphotheca sinuata), ideal for home gardeners seeking bright, drought-tolerant blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as African Daisy, Cape Marigold, or Namaqualand Daisy, this variety produces daisy-like flowers, measuring 5–8 cm across, in vibrant shades of orange, yellow, white, or pink with dark centers, perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, or mass plantings, blooming from 8–10 weeks after sowing through spring to summer. These nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden ecosystems, and close up at night or in cloudy weather, adding dynamic charm. The low-growing, bushy plants, reaching 20–30 cm tall and 30–45 cm wide, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in warm, dry climates, with optimal sowing in spring (March–May) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Karnataka, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5 cm depth in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% sand, 20% compost, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 15–20 cm apart in rows 30 cm wide; cover seeds lightly, achieving 85% germination within 7–14 days at 15–25°C. Keep soil moderately moist during germination with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 3–4 days), then reduce to drought-tolerant levels; deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering, and fertilize sparingly with organic compost every 4–6 weeks to avoid excessive foliage; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or whiteflies. Trim faded flowers to maintain tidiness, with good durability for garden displays. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Deadhead regularly for continuous blooms; thrives in poor soils with minimal water.
