Maintenance Notes: 

Deadheading not necessary for continuous bloom. Plants will "bury their dead" (new flowers will quickly cover old flowers) so no deadheading necessary. Symphony Osteospermum do not like having wet feet and will react badly to constantly wet soil. Be sure to allow soil in containers to get dry on top before watering and only plant Symphony in ground beds with good drainage. While it shouldn't be necessary you can trim your plants with a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears at any time.

A yearly application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

  • Beautiful, eye catching flowers. It just keeps on blooming all summer.

    Outstanding My favorite plant, I recommend to others all the time and explain the reasons why I like it so much.

  • Not hardy at all. Noticed fungus growing on the stem one day and the plant died in a heartbeat. It was beautiful while it lasted, though.

    Unsatisfied Did not survive, inferior performance or did not bloom well - won't grow again.

  • Although I fertilized them along with other plants in the container, the blooms got smaller in size as season progressed.

    Marginally Adequate Performed below expectations but may be willing to try again.

  • I bought 3 5-gal containers of Orange Symphony. Two died before I could plant them. (No, they did not dry out.) I have to plant deer resistant plants, and this was going to be welcome color. I had high hopes. Plant again? Maybe, but only one.

    Unsatisfied Did not survive, inferior performance or did not bloom well - won't grow again.
