Osteospermum ecklonis Akila® Mixture
The most compact series from seed matches or exceeds any vegetative series for easy production without pinching; with great uniformity and colour spectrum. Delivers 5% higher germination than competitors for higher yields - Akila is the best osteo from seed, for both habit and seed quality. Excellent branching ensures better pot fill and great performance from plant to garden. Highly suitable for mechanised production and high-density programmes. Plants branch without pinching, all colours in the Akila series bloom within a 7 to 10-day window, and vernalisation is not required. Full, well-branching plants are drought-tolerant once they are well established. Regional restriction: Japan
