Bush Daisy – A Sunny Soul in BloomCheerful and dependable, the Bush Daisy brings a bright burst of sunshine to the garden with its golden-yellow blooms and feathery green foliage. Native to South Africa, this daisy has found a happy home here in the South, where its long blooming season and laid-back nature make it a favorite for borders, beds, and porch pots alike. With its sunny disposition and easygoing care, it’s no wonder this plant feels like a longtime friend. Where It Grows BestBush Daisies thrive in USDA zones 8–11 and love warm, sunny spots. Plant them in full sun where they’ll catch the morning light, and they’ll bloom faithfully from early spring until the first frost. Perfect for mass plantings, sunny foundation beds, or nestled into your favorite vintage planter on the porch. Growth PatternBush Daisies grow into neat, rounded mounds about 2–3 feet tall and wide.

They stay compact, tidy, and always looking fresh—even in the heat of summer.
