Osteospermum ‘Purple DAISY CHAIN™’

Common Name:
Osteospermum ‘Purple DAISY CHAIN™’

Description:
Osteospermum ‘Purple DAISY CHAIN™’ is a compact, evergreen perennial celebrated for its prolific display of deep burgundy daisy-like flowers with lilac central markings. Blooming from late winter through to autumn, it provides extended seasonal colour, making it ideal for Melbourne gardens. Its naturally neat and mounding habit suits a variety of settings, including containers, mixed borders, and mass plantings in low-maintenance areas. The plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and benefits from a light trim after major flowering flushes to encourage further blooms. Applying a slow-release fertiliser in spring and mulching well will help retain moisture during dry periods. Regular feeding is recommended if grown in containers.
