Osteospermum Tresco Purple | 9cm Pot

A tender, purple flowering, mat-forming perennial. Position: full sun Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) You’d be ‘Scilly’ not to consider this sumptuous, ground covering perennial for summer season pots and front of borders. Evergreen and hardy in milder areas of the UK, the weed-suppressing foliage erupts into a profusion of deep magenta-purple daisy-like flowers from mid-summer until the first frosts. ‘Tresco’ is a sun lover so make sure to plant in full sun, in a window box or pot to appreciate the succession of magnificent flowers. Garden care: Grow in full sun to allow the flowers to fully open and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
