Plant Description
Osteospermum Akila ‘Lavender Shades’ is a stunning, easy-to-grow variety with uniform, compact growth and exceptional performance in any garden setting. The flowers are a vibrant lavender, larger than life and make a striking display whether planted in garden beds, window boxes, patio pots, or mixed containers.
I planted mine alongside petunias and cosmos on the patio and it was such a joy to come home and see the cheerful, colourful display welcoming you. This variety also looks beautiful on its own, adding a splash of colour that can bring a touch of the countryside to a city garden.
Osteospermum ‘Akila Lavender Shades’ thrives in well-drained soil in a warm, sunny position and is tolerant of poor soil, drought which makes it a resilient and versatile choice.
Regular feeding and removing spent flowers will keep it blooming abundantly throughout the season, ensuring a long-lasting, eye-catching display in your garden or containers.
