I thought this was posted in AZ Gardening, too, but didn’t happen. Anyway, all help is welcomed. 😀

I'm in Tucson,and have always had good results with Daisy's .

Thanks for commenting. I think I’ll give it a go if I can find it at a local nursery. I’ll call first. 😀 Btw, I was raised in Tucson, just down there a few weeks ago.

@unwantedadvice,

I did a quick search and the common name for this is African Daisy.

They do well here!! There used to be a lady by my parents we nic named the Daisy lady because her yard was full of these with very little effort!

If protected from freezes, they can be grown as a perennial.

I actually have 2 plants right now myself.

Where are you located now. I've been in Tucson my whole life. It sure is changing. But I love it still!

if you don't find plants, you can find seeds online.

Thanks for that info, Jojo! I would like them to be more of a perennial than annual. I usually plant lavender in my cement pots but trying something different and orange would be a nice color change. I also have lots of Angelita daisies so the color combos would like nice together imo.

I’m in Gilbert but lived in Tucson from roughly a year old to 20. I don’t get down there too often but always enjoy it when I do. We went to Lucky Wishbone a few weeks ago, the one on Swan/Broadway. Of course I remember the original building not the new one. Big changes, yes, but glad they kept the original sign. Brings back loads of memories when there. ~D

They ARE perennials.....just tender perennials grown as annuals in colder climates. But they should be fully perennial in zone 9B. Summer heat is not a problem for these, although AZ summer heat could be a concern.......they will stop flowering in too high temps. So maybe a bit of afternoon shade?

Thanks for your response, @gardengal48. I guess I’ll find out if I can locate some at the nurseries, haven’t called yet.The Angelita daisies do very well in our heat but they’re in-ground and I only water them once a week, if that, depending on temps, of course. They sure hang in there and the bees love them as they see yellow as blue and that’s their favorite color. Fun fact I learned. ~D
