A stunning African Daisy, Osteospermum ‘Erato Purple’ is prized for its rich purple blooms and long-lasting flowering season. Daisy-like petals radiating from a dark central eye, adding a striking touch to gardens, borders, and containers. Its vibrant colour, elegant shape and easy-going nature make it a favourite among both novice and experienced gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with bold, beautiful blooms. This ‘Erato Purple’ variety thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate watering to maintain its lush appearance. Known for its drought tolerance and resilience, it continues to bloom from late spring through to the autumn, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice. Deadheading spent flowers encourages even more blooms, ensuring a prolonged display of colour. Perfect for pollinator-friendly gardens, Osteospermum ‘Erato Purple’ attracts bees and butterflies, supporting your local ecosystem. Whether used in mass plantings, mixed borders, or container gardens, its deep purple hues create a striking contrast, adding elegance and charm.
