Description

A superb mix of shades that imitate the colours of the setting sun, the daisy-like flowers of Osteospermum 'Akila Sunset Shades' will fill your garden with fiery beauty.

From spring to autumn, the uniform, compact plants will appear, and are perfect for garden borders, mass plantings and other container displays. Easy to grow, this variety will tolerate light frosts, as well as heat and drought.

A real breeding breakthrough, these plants produce multiple branches without the need for tedious pinching. The masses of heads are better for filling pots than many other species, and will attract friendly garden visitors, such as bees and butterflies, to your garden.

Wonderful shades of yellow and gold, rose-red, plus salmon, apricot, and orange, are the perfect summer combination, and their daisy-like blooms are produced in profusion. Ideal for containers and borders, these flowers are sun lovers and will perform best in moist, well-drained soil.

These tender perennials are easy to grow, needing very little in the way of aftercare, but will need protecting from frost, cold, and wet winter weather.

Supplied as a set of 10 garden ready plants.

Top Tips
Deadhead regularly for more blooms
Care Information
  • Plant in reliably moist but well-drained soil in a sunny position in beds, borders or containers.
  • Deadhead regularly to keep plants in bloom for the longest time.
  • Plants are tender perennials so need protection in containers from frosts. They will continue flowering in conservatories or in a warm greenhouse.
