Got any Tips/Tricks for growing African Daisies?

I bought some seeds recently and hope to plant these. I will be putting them in a container though since I don't have a garden. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to care for them?

Got any Tips/Tricks for growing African Daisies?
African daisies( Osteospermum), like loads of sun to grow and once they are in flower, they need to be in the sun for the flowers to open up.


They need a well drained soil, so add some grit or vermiculite with some compost, about 2/3 compost, 1/3 grit/vermiculite.Keep the soil damp whilst the seedlings are growing but don't overwater.


Once grown, deadhead the flowers to encourage more flowers.Water weekly during a hot summer.
