4D Harvest Moon Osteospermum

Osteospermum fruticosum '4D Harvest Moon'

Warm, glowing blooms in soft orange with a rich, dark orange anemone-style center — '4D Harvest Moon' brings all the drama of a late-summer sunset straight to your garden. Large, showy flowers blanket this compact, well-branched plant in an abundance of color that never quits, and unlike traditional African daisies that close up at night or in cool weather, the 4D series stays open around the clock regardless of temperature. What you see in the morning is what you get all day — and all season.

Tough, reliable, and surprisingly versatile, 'Harvest Moon' thrives in full sun and earns its place in borders, containers, and landscape beds alike. The compact, well-branched habit keeps it looking tidy without much intervention, and the deer and rabbit resistance means the color you plant is the color you keep. Whether you're filling a patio planter or anchoring a sunny bed, this is a variety that shows up and stays the course from first planting to first frost.

Care Tips:

• Light: Full sun is best — at least 6 hours of direct sun per day for the strongest bloom production.
• Water: Water regularly until established, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Good drainage is essential; avoid consistently wet or soggy soil.
• Soil: Prefers light, well-draining soil. Raised beds and containers work especially well.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer or bloom-boosting formula to maintain steady flowering throughout the season.
• Deadheading: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous new flower production.
• Hardiness: Grown as an annual in most climates; perennial in zones 9–11. Tolerates light frost but protect from hard freezes.

Order & Shipping Info:

-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
