Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Osteospermum Erato ‘Basket Lemon’ is an unusual semi-trailing variety that is ideal for hanging baskets, pots and window boxes. Masses of pale yellow daisy blooms are produced throughout summer, creating a ball of colour that will gently spill over the sides of containers. Loved by bees, this cheerful cape daisy has good drought resistance, making it a great choice for low-maintenance, high-impact displays. Trails to 60cm (24in).

Though usually grown as annuals, Osteospermum are actually half-hardy perennials and can be overwintered in a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory.

9cm Osteospermum plants can be planted directly into their final containers and grown on in bright, frost-free conditions. Plant them in any fertile, well drained compost. When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days, before placing them in their final positions outdoors in full sun.

Feed and water osteospermum plants regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded osteospermum flowers throughout the flowering period to encourage more blooms to be produced.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
