Osteospermums are great in containers and the garden. They act as a thriller or filler, depending on the companion plants.
To keep your Osteospermum looking its best, here are some guidelines for care:
This variety is more heat tolerant than others
Blooms in Spring and Fall
Attracts pollinators
Water regularly (allow the top couple inches of soil to dry between waterings)
Drought tolerant
Fertilize once a week (easiest with a water soluble fertilizer or a granular slow release fertilizer)
Flowers stay open 24/7 (they don't close at night)
These plants set buds in cooler temperatures, which is why they may stop blooming in the middle of the summer
Deadheading recommended
