Almost unheard of 25 years ago, Osteospermum have become sought-after by British gardeners, both for their amazing flower power and fo their rich vibrant colours. Osteospermum Erato is a reliable summer sensation, just perfect for adding some extra colour to your garden. Hundreds of beautiful, weather resistant, daisy blooms with memorable double centres, cover the upright green foliage all summer long until the first frosts.Commonly known as African Daisies, these Osteospermums are vigorous growers which will quickly fill a basket or container, flowing over the edges with their semi-trailing habit.Osteospermum Erato prefer to be grown in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Growing to a height and spread of 40cm. Being half hardy perennials, your Eratos will give you joy for years to come - if they are kept frost free over winter. (Alternatively you could grow and treat as annuals).
