Osteospermum 'Erato Double Orange Centre'

An Osteospermum like no other – two-tone apricot/orange ray florets surround a burgundy pompom – a striking new shade that adds a distinctive twist among traditional pastel colour schemes.Osteospermum 'Erato Double Orange Centre' is particularly early flowering, densely branching and compact, forming a neat dome smothered in more flowers. Its tidy habit makes it a perfect pot specimen, and it will even sit nicely in a hanging basket. Drought and heat tolerant, it not only makes an undemanding pot plant, but is great for boosting borders with reliable colour that fills flowering gaps as perennials wax and wane. Dot them around your patio or run them along the sunny edge of the border – they’ll push out blooms non-stop from May to October. Ultimate height and spread: 30cm (12in).
