Description

A superb mix of shades that imitate the colours of the setting sun, the daisy-like flowers of Osteospermum 'Akila Sunset Shades' will fill your garden with fiery beauty.

Wonderful shades of yellow and gold, rose-red, plus salmon, apricot, and orange, are the perfect summer combination, and their daisy-like blooms are produced in profusion from May to July. Ideal for containers and borders, these flowers are sun lovers and will perform best in moist, well-drained soil.

From spring to autumn, the uniform, compact plants will grow, perfect for garden borders, mass plantings and other container displays. Easy to grow, this variety will tolerate light frosts, as well as heat and drought.

A real breeding breakthrough, these plants produce multiple branches without the need for tedious pinching. The masses of heads are better for filling pots than many other species, and will attract friendly garden visitors, such as bees and butterflies, to your garden.

These tender perennials are easy to grow, needing very little in the way of aftercare, but will need protecting from frost, cold, and wet winter weather.

Supplied as a set of 10 garden ready plants.

Top Tips
Deadhead regularly for more blooms
Care Information
  • Plant in reliably moist but well-drained soil in a sunny position in beds, borders or containers.
  • Deadhead regularly to keep plants in bloom for the longest time.
  • Plants are tender perennials so need protection in containers from frosts. They will continue flowering in conservatories or in a warm greenhouse.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.

1. If you're not totally happy with your order, return it within 30 days and we'll replace or refund in full!
2. Should any hardy plant fail to thrive thereafter, we'll replace free of charge - you just pay the P&P
