Osteospermum Lazy Daisy Antique shades

Common Name:
Cape Daisy 'Lazy Daisy Antique Shades'

Description:
Osteospermum ecklonis 'Lazy Daisy Antique Shades' is a compact, fast-growing perennial celebrated for its soft cream blooms with deep purple centres. Flowering heavily in spring and again in autumn, this variety adds a vintage charm to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its pointed mid-green foliage forms a neat mound, providing a lush backdrop to the striking flowers. Thriving in full sun to part shade, it prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming, and a light prune after flowering maintains its compact shape. Ideal for Melbourne's climate, 'Lazy Daisy Antique Shades' brings a touch of elegance to various garden settings.
