African Daisy | Osteospermum ‘Serenity Lavender Frost’

Add a soft, elegant touch to sunny gardens with Osteospermum ‘Serenity Lavender Frost’, a beautiful African Daisy with large, showy flowers with white petals flushed with lavender and purple around a striking dark centre. Its mounded, well-branched habit creates a full display of blooms above neat green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding long-lasting colour to the Cape garden. In Cape Town’s mild climate, this Osteospermum can flower from late winter through spring and into summer, with further flowering possible in autumn under favourable conditions, providing wonderful colour across multiple seasons. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, containers, pots, rockeries, garden beds and Mediterranean-style landscapes. Its compact, naturally branching growth also makes it particularly effective as a colourful feature plant in containers or planted in groups.

Why You'll Love It:

• Beautiful white flowers flushed with lavender and purple, with deep purple centres, create an elegant display.
• Naturally compact and well-branched, creating a full, floriferous plant.
• Perfect for pots, containers, borders, rockeries and mass planting.
• Drought tolerant once established, making it a great choice for sunny, water-wise gardens.

Plant & Care

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for the best flowering and healthiest growth. Water regularly while establishing, then allow the soil to dry slightly between watering once established. Remove faded flowers from time to time to keep the plant tidy and encourage further flowering. A light trim after a main flush of flowering can help maintain its rounded shape and encourage fresh branching. Container-grown plants can benefit from occasional feeding during active growth.

Did You Know?

Serenity Lavender Frost has a little bit of floral magic! Its flowers can change in colour as they mature and fully open, a characteristic that is especially valued in the Serenity series. This means the plant can offer subtly different shades across its flowering display, making it even more interesting as the season progresses.
