Osteospermum 'White Purple Eye' care tips

Osteospermum 'White Purple Eye' is easy to maintain when given sun and well drained soil. Water plants regularly in dry weather, especially those growing in pots, but let the soil dry slightly between watering. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and again through the flowering season to support strong foliage and fresh blooms. Remove spent flowers often to encourage continued flowering and keep the plant looking tidy. Lightly trim after a major flowering flush if it becomes open or straggly. Protect young plants from severe frost and avoid overwatering during cool wet weather.

Osteospermum 'White Purple Eye' size, spacing, and growth rate
