Description

South Africa's Most Dazzling Daisy, Now Lighting Up UK Gardens!

From the moment it opens, this remarkable African daisy stops you in your tracks. Deep violet at the centre, radiating out through rich purple to a blaze of golden yellow at the petal tips.

It's a combination of colours so vivid, so genuinely unusual, that you'll find yourself stopping to look at it every time you pass.

And it just keeps going. From late April right through to November, 'Purple Sun' flowers non-stop, smothering itself in bloom after glorious bloom.

It thrives in sunny spots, loves dry conditions, and asks very little in return. Border edges, patio pots, even hanging baskets - it forms a perfect, tidy dome and simply never lets up.

No wonder the butterflies can’t resist it either!

Top Tips
  • Deadhead regularly for more blooms.
Care Information
  • Plant approx. 20cm apart to allow them room to grow.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  • Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
  • Remember that plants are frost tender and should be protected from frost at all times.
  • Best treated as an annual or alternatively grow in pots which you can move indoors in autumn.
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.
