How to Grow:
- Sowing: Sow seeds indoors from late winter to early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost. Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, as they require light to germinate.
- Germination: Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Germination typically occurs within 10-14 days.
- Transplanting: If starting indoors, transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle. Harden off before planting outdoors in late spring.
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 25-30cm (10-12 inches) apart for optimal growth and airflow.
- Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Osteospermum is generally drought-tolerant once established.
