Planting Outdoors

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

Young plants should be planted out once the frosts have finished. Water new plants regularly so they don't dry out and treat them to some general fertiliser to help them on their way.

 

Flowering

From Mid Spring TO Late Summer

Osteospermum give vigorous, brightly coloured blooms from mid spring throughout the whole of the summer. Their flower heads will open wide when the sun is bright so a sunny position will give the best display.

 

Propagation by Softwood Cuttings

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Take soft wood cuttings in spring to early summer. Cleanly cut up to a 10cm long stems, remove lower leaves and pinch the tip out, dip the stem into rooting hormone, fill a container/pot with suitable compost, make holes around the edge of it and plant the cuttings, water in well, cover with a polythene bag and place somewhere warm, lake the bag off twice a week to air the cuttings. Keep the cuttings moist until well rooted.Harden off when well rooted and pot on into individual pots increasing the airing to let the leaves to develop. Remove rotten, dying or dead cuttings regularly.

 

Propagation by Semi Hardwood Cuttings

From Late Summer TO Mid Autumn

Semi hard wood cuttings are taken from the current years growth from late summer to mid autumn the bottom of the cuttings is hard and soft on the top.
