Astra Purple is an early flowering Osteospermum variety with upright, compact growth perfect for garden beds and containers. The medium sized purple flowers stand out beautifully atop its lush green foliage. Astra Purple has excellent heat tolerance and a long flowering season. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and extend the life span of the plant.
