Description
10” tall x 12-18” wide. Purple Mountain® Sun Daisy (Osteospermum) is a compact but floriferous variety that blooms with strong red-violet flowers on green lanceolate foliage in early summer. Also known as African Daisy or Cape Daisy. A long bloomer, Purple Mountain® is well adapted to higher elevations and cooler night temperatures. Osteospermum spreads slowly via surface rhizomes. For best results, plant in a full sun position in well-draining, average-to-fertile soil, as these plants tend to melt away in overly wet conditions. Regularly dead-heading will result in a longer bloom time, and tidying it with a light shearing after its first flush of bloom will result in a neater appearance and a higher chance of late summer/early fall blooms.

Love it
"Has been blooming for over a month now. It has been in the ground for two months in a part sun spot and is thriving. I hope to buy more soon."
Healthy plant
"I planted this in my border. I've never grown it before, but purple + daisy are attractive qualities to me. It looks good so far, and I always get good plants from High Country Gardens."
Been Waiting for this Plant
"Saw this plant on their website last year. Wasn't available at the time so when it became available for spring delivery, I immediately bought a few. They arrived healthy and are doing well."
A Keeper!
"I ordered two Purple Mountain Sun Daisies as experimental fillers for plants I really wanted that were out of stock. These daisies are so healthy; they've tripled in width since I received them and have been in constant bloom (with regular deadheading). The plants are short and the blooms are small; the color is vibrant and they are like a miniature version of my nearby Ruby Star Echinacea."
Lots of blooms
"I planted it next to some other non hardy osteospermums. It is blooming & very beautiful. I hope it is hardy, but if not, I enjoyed the flowers this season."
Love the beautiful blooms.
