3D Osteo

Intoducing the 3D Osteo
(Osteospermum ecklonis)
Osteospermum, African Daisy

3D is a totally new type of flower not normally found on any African Daisy. First we had Gazanias with the puff ball centre, (actually a double), which prevents the flower from closing in the evening, or on a cloudy day. Well, now we have a Double Osteo that works the same way.

Like all South African plants, these Osteos bloom the most in spring and fall, when it is cooler.

Zone: Treat as Annual
Spread: 30-38cm (14-20")
Height: 25-36cm (10-14")
Habit: Upright and Mounded
Exposure : Full Sun
Moisture: Just Moist

Man, a new release for next season already, and we haven't started this season yet. At this point there are only three colours, Pink, Silver and Purple.
   --- I suspect more will arrive in the near future!
