Got mine today , same plants , I ordered two deals, I'm well pleased, particularly delighted with the Surfina fragrant Star, they are going near the front door. Overall I think this was a 'Smashing Grabbit'. :T:j:T:j:T:j

i thought osteospermums were perennials?

Mothership

As far as I know you can bring them inside to overwinter them, or keep them in the greenhouse with some protection (fleece). They wont survive a winter outdoors, I know b'cos I've killed some. I've overwintered surfinas indoors, they are good for taking cuttings from.

My Osteospermum survived winter but I have had some varieties that dont

I did get some that look worse for wear but came back and managed to get lots of cuttings

72hrs????

We have to wait 2-3hrs round here.

Must be a mistake surely???

mmmkbb

no is not! in the weekdays i gotta wait 48hrs, 72 for weekend
really upset

i would have thought a few hrs should b enough. apparantly the driver has to finish his round (where is his round god that takes 72 hrs?)
i double confirm with the local post office, n i even told them i got live plants inside the box

NeverInDebt

My PO is like that in a big town if your out you ahve to wait 24 hours even though Postman is back at sorting office only open now 9am until 12.20pm and weekend tough you have to wait until Monday

Never use to be like that open until 5.30pm and saturday morning but cut back a couple fo years ago ended that

How annoying! The leaflet inside mine says that they should last for 3 days with no problem inside the packaging, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I didn't have to sign for mine, so I don't know why they couldn't just have left them somewhere. I know it's too late know, but I seem to remember there was also a space on the order to put delivery instructions, where to leave if you were out. I can understand how gutted you are though, with the lovely weather forecast this weekend.:(
