Bursting with sunset shades, these cheerful daisy-like blooms bring instant warmth and energy to pots, borders, and patio displays. Each flower opens in rich tones of glowing orange and golden amber, washed with a soft plum blush around the centre, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye from spring right through to autumn.
Compact and free-flowering, Osteospermum ‘Soleo Glow’ forms a neat mound of glossy green foliage, making it ideal for sunny containers, edging pathways, or filling gaps in mixed bedding schemes. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding only modest care, once established, with a steady show of colour that brightens even the dullest corners.

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.
