Osteospermum barberiae - HARDY AFRICAN DAISY
NEW Spring 2010! |
$8 |
If you've ever wished African daisies came in a hardy perennial variety, rather than just the annual - well, they do, it's just a matter of finding them. Recently a few hardy cultivars have made it into general commerce, though still not very common. This species is at least as good of a garden plant as any of those. It forms a dense mound to about 1' tall and 3' wide, and produces beautiful light purple flowers in mid to late spring. It will appreciate a well-drained, moderately dry (but not scorching) site in full sun. Hardy to at least 10°F.
