Spoon daisy "Akila Purple" (daisybush)
Spoon daisy "Akila Purple" - Osteospermum ecklonis.
It is a perennial shrub with a highly branching erect stem and obovate, jagged leaves along the edge.
In regions with cold winters, the heat-loving Cape daisy does not survive cold winters outdoors and is therefore used as an annual.
It blooms very profusely from mid-June to September.
Used in groups in mixborders and flower beds, the composition will turn out to be excellent in container solo performance of this glossy "chamomile". Plant height about 25 cm. Prefers sunny areas with well-drained fertile soil. Seeds are sown in March-April in boxes with light sandy soil. At a soil temperature of + 20 ° C, seedlings appear in 7-10 days. Seedlings are kept at a moderate temperature. In open ground, seedlings are planted at the end of May (distance when planting 20-25 cm).
After transplanting hardened seedlings into the garden, it is advisable to water young plants, then the grown osteospermum becomes more drought-resistant and cold-resistant.
Fertilizing the plant during the flowering period promotes better growth and the formation of a large number of buds. Removal of faded inflorescences also causes an increase in flowering. With periodic watering, osteospermums successfully tolerate hot dry summers.
When the summer heat ends, osteospermum grows strongly and blooms especially abundantly in autumn. It is a pity that the period of such a violent flowering of osteospermum is short - after all, soon the cold will come ...
Despite the fact that osteospermum is thermophilic, adult strong plants easily tolerate autumn frosts and even mild frosts.
In the fall, it is always sad to say goodbye to garden osteospermum, which has a lush and healthy appearance - I really want to extend the period of its life and flowering. And, here, containerized osteospermums grown on a glassed-in balcony retain their decorative effect and bloom much longer. In addition, the mother plant can be stored in a bright cool place in winter, periodically slightly moistening the soil.
