Adorned with cheerful buttery-yellow flowers, a contrasting purple halo and a distinctive blue central eye, Osteospermum ‘Serenity Blue Eyed Beauty’ brings a bright, captivating splash of colour to sunny gardens. This compact African Daisy is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant choice that works beautifully in mass plantings, borders and containers, where its striking two-tone flowers can really stand out. In mild climates, Osteospermum can flower from late winter into summer and even intermittently year-round, making it a wonderful choice for adding long-lasting seasonal colour to the garden. Once established, it needs relatively little water, while regular deadheading and a light prune after flowering can help maintain a neat, floriferous plant.
Why You'll Love It
- The warm yellow petals create an instantly cheerful display and brighten sunny garden spaces.
- Each daisy features a beautiful blue eye surrounded by a contrasting purple halo, giving the flowers an unusual two-tone look.
- Its compact, upright habit makes it equally effective planted in containers, borders or groups for a bold carpet of colour.
Plant & Care
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for the best flowering and healthiest growth. Water regularly while establishing, then reduce watering once established, allowing the soil to dry somewhat between watering; supplementary water during prolonged hot or dry periods will help maintain flowering. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooms and keep the plant looking tidy. After a main flush of flowering, lightly prune or tidy the plant to encourage fresh growth and maintain its compact shape. Avoid poorly drained or consistently wet soil, as good drainage is important for healthy growth.
