This 'FlowerPower 3D Blue Steel' Osteospermum is a stunning evergreen perennial that produces masses of fully double, steel-blue blooms, bringing rich colour and unique texture to the garden. Perfectly suited to the Western Cape's climate, it flowers from late winter into summer and even intermittently year-round, attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its compact, rounded growth habit makes it ideal for patio pots, containers, borders, rockeries and garden beds, adding long-lasting colour to any outdoor space. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this hardy, low-maintenance variety is drought tolerant once established.
Plant in full sun with well-drained soil for the best flowering performance. Water regularly while establishing, then reduce watering once established, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Lightly trim the plant after a flush of flowers to maintain its compact shape, and remove any spent blooms if desired to keep it looking neat. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering throughout the season.
The unique 3D flowers of the FlowerPower series are made up of multiple layers of petals, giving each bloom a fuller, more textured appearance than the single flowers found on traditional African Daisies.
