Osteospermum Serenity™ Coral Magic

Order WebTrack
Medium Upright-mounded
  • Exceptional habit and uniform timing for early-season bench-run production.
  • “Magic” colors change as flowers fully open – a plus in consumers' eyes!
  • Low-energy crop produces full, mounded plants with tighter bench spacing and fewer PGRs.
  • All varieties feature the same excellent branching.
  • Well-suited to cool-season containers and landscapes: a full-season performer in coastal markets.
There is not another plant on the market with a flower color to match! Similar habit to Pink.
