All About Osteos
  Osteospermum, aka Osteos or African Daisies are a very showy annual with daisy type flowers. Osteos are a great companion plant to panies, as they are tough and tolerant of the cool weather. Osteos works well planted in the garden, or as a filler in a container garden. This plant is low maintenance, no deadheading required! We grow this plant in a variety of amazing colors including yellow, orange, white, purple, bronze, gold, red and two-tone varieties. Petals on some varieties resemble tiny spoons.  In store now!
Gardening Tip of the Week:
Spring Fertilizing
Give your trees, shrubs and perennials the best start possible by applying Espoma organic fertilizers in early Spring. We carry a full line of Espoma products!

  1. Wait until plants are showing signs of growth - it is best to fertilize when your plants start actively growing; the time is now or very soon.
  2. Choose the right fertilizer type - Holly-tone for evergreens, Rose-tone for roses and blooming perennials, and Plant-tone for shrubs and small trees.
  3. Apply - Sprinkle around the dripline of the shrub, this is where the most active roots are. For shrubs, follow instructions on package, although since it's organic, you really can't overfeed! For existing perennials, apply about 1 cup per plant.
  4. Water it in - Scratch the fertilizer in to the top layer of soil, and gently water it in.
  5. Watch your plants thrive - Your plants will certainly thank you for this boost of nutrients!
