The Osteospermum ‘Astra White’ is a free-flowering annual prized for its pure white, daisy-like flowers that bring a lot of brightness to arrangements. The white petals surround a purplish-blue to dark purple center, creating an elegant contrast.
The plant forms a compact and well-branched clump, ideal for flowerbeds, window boxes, and containers. Like many osteospermums, flowering is particularly abundant in spring and early summer.
This variety prefers full sun and well-drained soil.
