Osteospurmum seedlings for Sue in Milan


This is an osteospurmum seedling for Sue in Milan, who's discovered loads in her English garden. We have about 4 colours of these plants, plus a spoon petalled one and whenever we've turned our backs, new seedlings pop up and in one season they can grow to a metre in diameter.
This is an old self-seeded clump, much in need of a drop of water......later, when the temperature drops. It's 45C out in the sun at the moment.

Osteospermums are lovely plants and survive the heat reasonably. Mine did well last year, but hasn't had the same water this summer, the reason... a pipe used to leak just by the plant, but not any more!

Thank you for the honour.
