Plant description

These beautiful daisy-like flowers will produce a long-lasting display from early summer to mid-autumn. Their buttermilk yellow 'petals' fade to white at their base, which creates a ring around the contrasting magenta-blue eye. Great for the front of a sunny garden border, or for potting up on the patio.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Osteospermum Blue Eyed Beauty ('Balostlueye') (PBR):

Osteospermum prefer well-drained soil and can suffer during very wet winters. To protect plants that are susceptible to rot in wet winter conditions, ensure they are planted in well-draining soil and consider adding grit or sand to the surrounding planting area to improve drainage. Raise beds or plant in containers if necessary, and avoid spots where water collects. If wet conditions are unavoidable, consider using a cloche or cold frame to shield the plants from excessive moisture. Grow in full sun to allow the flowers to fully open and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. When grown in a pot, move to a sheltered spot during the winter months.

Plant up summer containers

After the last frost date, plant up containers with tender flowering bedding and reliable foliage plants. Line terracotta pots with polythene, taking care not to cover the planting holes, to reduce water loss through the porous sides of the pot.
