Osteospermum Plants
Need a burst of colour in your flower beds or containers? Look no further than sun-loving osteospermums. Also known as African daisies, these big, bold flowers are compact, drought-tolerant, and flower all summer long. They’re raised the traditional way at our Herefordshire nursery so they’re extra hardy and will come back bigger and better every year. Our growers have got all the best colour combinations, with purples, yellows, blues and oranges contrasting in spectacular fashion. Plant osteospermums as an accent plant in borders or in patio pots and hanging baskets for instant sunshine!
Which osteospermum?
With osteospermums, anything goes. If you love coordinated colours, go for a mix of similar shades like Tresco Purple and Serenity Pink, perhaps with pops of white. Prefer bolder contrasts? Choose some of the amazing bicolour combinations such as Blue Eyed Beauty and Serenity Sunshine Beauty.
Planting schemes and partners
Plant your osteospermums in containers, in the front of a sunny border - or anywhere you want a blast of eyecatching colour, because these flowers are guaranteed to steal focus from everything else! Team them with softly swaying ornamental grasses and tall stems of verbena and anemones for a wild prairie look, or brighten up your balcony and window boxes with something that beats annual bedding hands down. Osteospermums are salt tolerant too, so they’re a great choice for coastal gardens.
Growing tips
Osteospermums will thrive in any well drained soil in a warm, sheltered spot with plenty of sun. Water them throughout the growing season and deadhead the finished flowers regularly to encourage the plant to produce new ones. If you do this and feed them weekly with a general purpose plant food, they’ll keep blooming all the way into autumn.
