Plant description

Osteospermum 'In The Pink' is a compact semi-evergreen perennial with green, toothed lance-shaped leaves. It thrives in well-drained soil within a sunny, sheltered border, where it produces an abundance of vibrant hot-pink, daisy-like flowers from mid-summer to mid-autumn. This cultivar is hardier than many other cultivars, making it an excellent choice for adding long-lasting colour to gardens in sheltered, more southerly areas of the UK.

How to care for Osteospermum In The Pink:

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.

Please note:

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
