Description
A superb choice for coastal gardens, combining exceptional toughness with a long-lasting display of bright pink, daisy-like flowers. This attractive evergreen perennial forms spreading, low-growing mounds of fresh green foliage and flowers prolifically from spring through to autumn.
Particularly well suited to exposed seaside conditions, it thrives in full sun, copes well with dry, free-draining soils and tolerates salt-laden coastal air and strong winds once established. Ideal for coastal borders, banks, rockeries, gravel gardens and containers, it delivers reliable colour where many less hardy plants struggle.
The open flowers are also a valuable source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects, making Osteospermum jucundum a tough, colourful and wildlife-friendly addition to the coastal garden.
