Osteospermum (African Daisy)
×
Color Name: Purple
Purple Osteospermum features prolific, daisy-like, dark purple flowers adorned with deep purple eyes. The blossoms are borne on upright stems clad with lush green leaves. Osterospermums are sure winners in borders, window boxes and patio containers where their luminous blooms will bring a cheerful splash of color.
Growing Tips: Osteospermums perform best in full sun in moderately fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soil. They tolerate drought and neglect but look their best with good soil and irrigation. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new blossoms.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance. We suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants.
