Osteospermum Seeds - All In One For Home Gardens

Osteospermum seeds grow into bushy, flowering perennial plants with an upright to spreading growth habit and daisy-like blooms. These plants are well suited to warm temperate and Mediterranean-type climates, where they perform best in full sunlight and well-drained soils. African daisy plants are commonly grown in garden beds, borders, and containers. Regular watering during active growth supports steady development, while established plants tolerate short dry periods.
