Osteospermum, African Daisy, Cape Daisy 'Purple Mountain'

This plant is a lot hardier than the plant details state. It will easily survive -7C and lower in the UK. It's the easiest and hardiest...Read More of the Osteospermum species, and can be grown in most areas of lowland England, Washington State and probably even Vancouver. It can tolerate quite clayey soil, and will flower most of the summer.

It's the Cinderella of the osteospermums, and not one I'd chose for my milder climate --where more attractive (and more invasive) species can grow, but looks good in a rock garden where it won't 'invade' other plants.

The leaves smell of lemon balm.

A fabulous strain of the hardiest and best "Freeway daisy"--dark evergreen mats and white to deep purple flowers. 8" x 12"
