Osteospermum ecklonis 'Banana Shake' is a captivating tender perennial that stands out for its delightful pale yellow, daisy-like flowers. These blooms exude a soft and cheerful elegance, making them a perfect addition to containers and garden borders alike. As a member of the 3D series, this variety features semi-double flowers that maintain their open form even in low light conditions, ensuring that their visual appeal lasts from the early morning hours until dusk. This unique characteristic allows gardeners to enjoy the beauty of 'Banana Shake' throughout the day and into the evening.
Typically grown as an annual in the UK due to its tender nature, 'Banana Shake' produces an abundance of pale yellow flowers adorned with a creamy central disc. Unlike many other osteospermums, these flowers remain open both day and night, providing a continuous display of color from late spring until the first frosts arrive. This extended blooming period makes it an excellent choice for those looking to add vibrant hues to their outdoor spaces throughout the growing season. Its versatility allows it to thrive in various settings, including patio containers, window boxes, and sunny garden beds.
To ensure optimal growth, 'Banana Shake' prefers full sun and flourishes in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Regular deadheading is recommended to encourage prolonged blooming, allowing gardeners to enjoy its stunning flowers for as long as possible. While this plant is relatively easy to care for, it does require protection from frost; thus, it is advisable to either bring it indoors during colder months or treat it as an annual. Additionally, its attractive blooms are known to draw in pollinators such as bees and butterflies, further enhancing the vibrancy of any garden space. Height: 30 cm (12 in) Spread: 40 cm (16 in)

Live Plants
Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
