The Osteospermum 'Spider’ flowers are rare, unusual and highly sought after. Incredibly floriferous, the neat compact foliage will be almost hidden from June to October. Each flower have spoon-like petals, giving a unique and attractive flower shape. 

 Only available in the trade since the early 1990s, spider osteospermum is a fairly recent addition to the gardening world. With their daisy like blossoms in a myriad of colors, osteospermums were an instant hit.

🌼Osteospermum Grow and Care Instructions🌼

~ GROW ~
They should be started indoors around the same time as your other annuals, which is about 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area.

African daisies need light to germinate, so you simply need to sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil to plant them. Do not cover them. Once you have them on the soil, place them in a cool, well-lit location. Do not use heat to germinate them. They do not like it. You should see growing osteospermum seedlings in about 2 weeks. Once the seedlings are 2”-3” (5 to 7.5 cm.) high, you can transplant them into individual pots to grow until the last frost has passed.

After the first frost, you can plant the seedlings in your garden. Plant them 12”- 18” (30.5 to 45.5 cm.) apart for best growth.

~ CARE ~

African Daisies Osteospermum is from Africa, hence the name African daisies. Growing African daisies require conditions similar to those found in Africa. It likes heat and full sun. It needs well-drained soil and, in fact, will tolerate dry soils.

Osteospermum is an annual and, like most annuals, it enjoys extra fertilizer. But the nice thing about African daisies is that they are one of the few annuals that will still bloom for you if they are planted in poor soil. When growing osteospermum, you can expect them to start blooming about mid-summer. If you have grown them from seed yourself, they may not start blooming until late summer. You can expect them to grow to be 2-5 feet (0.5 to 1.5 m.) high.
