Osteospermum Spider Purple

Osteospermum Spider Purple is a spectacular African Daisy featuring unusual, spider-like flowers in beautiful shades of vibrant purple and lavender. The distinctive blooms feature slender, spoon-shaped petals that create a striking, almost starburst appearance, surrounding contrasting deep purple centres. Flowering prolifically from Spring through Autumn, this eye-catching variety brings a unique splash of colour and texture to any garden.

With its naturally compact, bushy and gently spreading growth habit, Osteospermum Spider Purple is perfect for garden beds, borders, rockeries, mass plantings and decorative pots. The fascinating flower shape and rich purple colouring create a beautiful contrast against the fresh green foliage, making it an excellent choice for cottage gardens, sunny patios and mixed container displays. The cheerful blooms also attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, Osteospermums thrive in a full sun position with well-drained soil. Heat and drought tolerant once established, they are ideal for sunny gardens and coastal locations. Remove spent flowers regularly and give plants a light trim after flowering to encourage fresh, bushy growth and further flushes of beautiful blooms. Water during extended dry periods and fertilise occasionally for best results.
