 Plant Details

Growing Tips
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.

I am more than pleased with the results I've had with your plants. I used to purchase less expensive plants and by mid July they looked terrible. Since I've started planting Proven Winners I have not been disappointed! It's been hot and dry in NH and many of my neighbors annuals are dried out and leggy. Not mine!!! Mine are blooming profusely and they are so full and luxurious. They look like they've been pampered in a greenhouse all summer. I have perennial gardens throughout my property and have been asked to participate in a garden tour for a second year in a row.

This year I bought over $300 of Proven Winners annuals for my planters. The tour was at the end of July and everyone that toured mentioned how beautiful the annuals were. Many told me that their container plants looked terrible and wanted to know my secret. They thought I had a magical formula to induce blooming. I told them all to try Proven Winners next year, you get what you pay for!! I have 2 planters at the entrance of my gazebo, the planters are 2 feet high and very large. The Supertunias that I planted have grown so full and long that you can't see the containers!! How wonderful!!!

The dentist I work for came over last summer and was so impressed with my planters that he asked me to plant his planters this year. I used Proven Winners, of course. Our patients are impressed with the colors that greet them when they drive into the yard and when they walk along the curving walkway that leads to the office door.

Thank you for such wonderful plants. I can't wait for next spring so I can start all over again. Elaine, NH
