Buying Osteospermum
 

anyone know where i can get these in UK ?
jucundas and any hardy variaties

Buying Osteospermum
 

I think you mean Osteospermum jacundum - the only fairly hardy one for
the UK. I have grown the pink form for nearly ten years in the Midlands
and it has never suffered from the frost.

Do you live within striking distance of Solihull because last summer,
having chatted to a couple in a nursery, I did them three cuttings but
they never called. They are now full their 5" pots and looking for a
home. I have a large bed of them and they root as they go.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

Looking through RHS Plant Finder, they list a large number of Osteospermum
supliers. Which county are you in ?

much obliged for taking the trouble to check,
no mention of the hardy jucundas version though..
i will have to check on these on the very helpfull.
osteospermuma.com website
has it all on these African daisy plants
it seems that you cannot raise them from seeds .
only cuttings
looks like the wisley place is the nearest but still an hours drive
from my place.

I bought one from Perry's near Whitby,
it was sold as hardy, but did not survive
my North Yorks patch despite TLC

good luck

....whereas down in Cornwall, I have them all over the place - even
semishaded areas where the books say they should not thrive. They flower a
bit less freely there, but still do OK

I composted a lot of them because I'd run out of space, or I'd offer Haaroy
some cuttings.
