Product information
This beautiful blend of African Daisies in a mixture of sunset colours will have you starry eyed all summer long and into autumn. The first ever trailing Osteospermum, these fantastic plants will trail gracefully from patio containers and hanging baskets to create an impressive ball of blooms. Naturally drought tolerant and sun loving, these low maintenance plants will happily put on a good show with very little fuss. Osteospermum 'Falling Stars™' (Sunbrella) plants can be planted directly into their final containers and grown on in bright, frost-free conditions. Plant them in any fertile, well drained compost. When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days, before placing them in their final positions outdoors in full sun.
Feed and water Osteospermum plants regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded Osteospermum flowers throughout the flowering period to encourage more blooms to be produced.
