Osteospermum Plants - Purple Sun

The extraordinary combination of colours that the osteospermum – Purple Sun has makes them stand out far more than their other African Daisy counterparts. With vivid deep purple centres that contrast with sun-kissed yellow-tipped flower petals, they will look amazing in decorative patio pots and containers. These wonderful flowers will bloom all summer long when the full sun allows them to bloom to their full potential.

The osteospermum – Purple Sun will certainly be an eye-catching talking point at your summer garden parties! They have a neat, compact and well rounded growing habit which makes them perfect for displaying pride of place flower beds containers and flower borders. Try also planting these magnificent flowers in rockeries for a vibrant and exotic display. Like most osteospermum, this plant is suited to well-drained soil - avoid cold, wet soil to get the best out of it. Flowers June-August. Height 40-50cm (16-20").

Caring for your Osteospermum

Plant out at about the time of your last spring frost. Cut as soon as they open, osteospermum – Purple Sun make great cut flowers. As plants age, they sometimes develop problems with powdery mildew. Aphids may occasionally feed on new growing tips and buds. Pinch off large colonies.

Growing Information

Pot up osteospermum daisies and grow them on in frost free conditions until plants are well grown. When plants are well developed and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors into borders and patio containers. Grow osteospermum plants in any well drained soil in a warm, sheltered position in full sun. African Daisies dislike cold wet soils. Improve heavy soil prior to planting by adding plenty of coarse grit.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
