African daisy is a common name used for various plants of Asteraceae family as under-mentioned. Sowing time for all of these plants was fall, however you can still try sowing Gerberas or Gazanias.

Arctotis
Dimorphotheca
Gazania
Gerbera
Osteospermum

What i understand you are asking about osteospermum.....Its a short lived perennial especially in Karachi. but would require heat protection in summer months.

Perennial in colder climate....Can not say how it will behave here in our climate. I will attempt in fall which is the right time for sowing its seeds.
