Striking and sumptuous, Osteospermum ‘Erato Red’ is an African Daisy, highly prized for its vibrant, velvety red blooms and distinctive daisy-like petals. Each of the rich red flowers is highlighted by a dark centre, creating a bold contrast that adds energy and colour to your garden. Blooming profusely throughout the warmer months, from May through to October, an excellent choice for a long-lasting display. Ideal for borders, large hanging baskets, and patio containers, Osteospermum ‘Erato Red’ adds a vibrant, tropical feel to your landscape. It’s also an attractive option for pollinator-friendly gardens, as it draws in bees and butterflies, enhancing your garden’s ecosystem with its bold, beautiful colour. Osteospermum ‘Erato Red’ thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate watering. Reaching a height and spread of around 40cm, it is drought-tolerant, and resilient to pests and diseases, making it relatively low-maintenance once established. Deadheading spent flowers encourages more blooms, extending its flowering season.
