Osteospermum Passion Mix

1999 AAS Bedding Plant Winner

Semi-cold tolerant annual grows best in full sun. These drought tolerant plants display single daisy flowers with an azure blue center. The flower color is white, purple, rose or pink. This somewhat unknown annual is adaptable to spring or fall gardens. It will continue to grow during the heat of the summer with blooms, but in the fall, expect a continuous blaze of flower color until severe weather. Grow almost year round in mild areas, with the heaviest bloom in the spring. Flowering will continue throughout the summer into fall in cool areas.
