Planting & Growing Tips

  • Start Seeds Early: Begin indoors 8–10 weeks before the final frost date for earlier blooms, or direct sow outdoors when soil has warmed.

  • Soil: Choose well-drained, compost-rich soil. Osteospermum does not tolerate overly wet roots.

  • Light: Full sun exposure is essential for vibrant flower color and healthy plant growth.

  • Spacing: Space plants 10–12 inches apart to allow airflow and prevent crowding.

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist while germinating. Once mature, water deeply but less frequently.
