Daisy like drama, with a warm and welcoming demeanour
The comforting, vanilla tones of Osteospermum ecklonis ‘SummerSmile Creme’ will evocatively parade their way through your garden from May to October. Plants mature to offer generous mounds of open-faced, pollinator friendly flowers perfect for pots, window boxes and baskets. As they are drought tolerant once established, you could even plant in the cracks of walls or gaps in rockeries, where these exciting newcomers will creep and trail, just a little, adding their charm wherever they grow.
The single blooms of Osteospermum ecklonis ‘SummerSmile Creme’ have petals which radiate out from yellow brown centres like the rays of the sun. Enchantingly, blooms often close up on cloudy days or at night, only opening up once the light levels increase. Plants mature to a height and spread of 35cm, and stems are long and strong so perfect cut for a vase too.
Plant in well-drained soil of any type except clay. Give ‘Crème’ a south or west fa
