Proliferations of petalsA relative newcomer, this tender perennial is much admired for its multiple layers of petals which make blooms full and flouncy, as well as beautifully marked. It is nearly impossible to wander past this African Daisy without stopping to stare. Truly striking double blooms are produced in abundance from June until the first frosts, so many in fact, the lush green foliage beneath becomes virtually invisible. Half-hardy (H3), reliable, and a vigorous grower; Osteospermum Erato Double Purple is popular for summer displays. They look fantastic in borders and containers and the bright, bold colour acts as a beacon for bees and butterflies. The drought-tolerant African Daisy gets its name because it is native to Africa, so it is no surprise these plants love the heat. For best results, plant in a warm, sunny spot in well drained, fertile soil, in borders, pots or containers. H&S: 40cm
