Producing masses of dazzling daisy blooms throughout summer and into autumn above glossy evergreen foliage, hardy osteospermums are perfect for containers, rockeries and the front of sun-baked borders. This trio of superb varieties in contrasting shades is sure to create a fabulous display. Versatile and resilient, African Daisies will thrive in hot, dry, neglected conditions, yet remain some of longest-flowering plants in the garden! Expect vibrant summer colour and weed-suppressing ground cover from these easy to grow, sun-loving perennials. Thriving in a well-drained, sheltered spot, they will triumph over heat, drought and light frosts.
