Rich cranberry-red flowers with a bronze-orange centre bloom from spring through to autumn, creating a bold splash of colour.
Compact and evergreen, this heat and drought-tolerant plant is ideal for sunny spots in window boxes, containers, or hanging baskets, where it fills spaces beautifully with minimal maintenance once established.
Osteospermum 'Gelato Cranberry' is typically grown as an annual in bedding displays but provides outstanding impact throughout the growing season with the option to overwinter in a frost free, well-lit spot.
Its striking flowers are complemented by elongated, lance-shaped leaves with textured margins, adding further interest to this versatile and reliable choice for long-lasting seasonal colour.

Pot up and grow on cuttings under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed or patio pot.
Osteospermum prefer well-drained soil and can suffer during very wet winters. To protect plants that are susceptible to rot in wet winter conditions, ensure they are planted in well-draining soil and consider adding grit or sand to the surrounding planting area to improve drainage.
Raise beds or plant in containers if necessary, and avoid spots where water collects. If wet conditions are unavoidable, consider using a cloche or cold frame to shield the plants from excessive moisture.
Grow in full sun to allow the flowers to fully open and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. When grown in a pot, move to a sheltered spot during the winter months.
