Description

A cool, refined look for your summer displays. Each Osteospermum 3D 'Steel Blue' flower forms a layered double centre, giving the blooms a lifted appearance that makes them instantly recognisable. The steel blue colouring is crisp and bright, and the contrasting, brighter edges add depth.

These plants thrive in sunny spots, where their tidy, compact habit fits naturally into pots, raised beds and border fronts. As temperatures rise, they continue to flower steadily, for a stream of blooms that lasts well into late summer.

The double flowers hold their shape beautifully, and the cool tones bring a refreshing feel to summer displays.

With minimal fuss, the plants establish quickly and keep producing flower after flower. For gardeners wanting detail, colour and structure in an easy to manage form, 'Steel Blue' is a reliable and attractive choice for the warmest months of the year.

Top Tips

Deadhead regularly for more blooms.

Care Information

Plant in reliably moist but well drained soil in a sunny position in beds, borders or containers.
Deadhead regularly to keep plants in bloom for the longest time. Protect plants in containers from frosts and they will continue flowering in conservatories or in a warm greenhouse.
