Flower power<br />
Amazing ideas for seasonal colour.<br />
We’re planting… Osteospermum<br />
ecklonis ‘Purple Sun’, a new variety with<br />
vivid flowers that announce the beginning<br />
of spring. The blooms feature several<br />
shades of orange that fade into a deep<br />
purple ring at the centre of the flower.<br />
Plants form a compact, well-branched<br />
plant, 25cm high and 40cm wide, with<br />
an abundance of flowers. Grow ‘Purple<br />
Sun’ in full sun and in ordinary garden soil<br />
that’s been well composted. They also look<br />
good in containers and hanging baskets.<br />
In coastal gardens, plants should be<br />
sheltered from the wind. Fertilise in spring<br />
and again in autumn. Water regularly but<br />
don’t over water as the plant can tolerate<br />
moderately dry soil.<br />
