Osteospermums are spectacular!

I planted osteospermums as summer bedding and they have never looked so good. There are so many blooms it looks like white hedging from the end of the street.

It's at this time of year (just north of central Scotland) that I'd take the summer plants out and plant the spring bulbs but I can't bear to uproot the flowers when they are doing so well. How long do you think I can leave them in?

(My sweet peas are also flowering magnificently. They've usually withered away long before this!)

My Osteospermums are also full of bloom. I have seen them over winter in some gardens. I’m leaving mine in to see what happens.
You could always plant up a pot of bulbs to put in their place later.

Leave the osteospermums, they often overwinter down here south coast so you may be lucky. They spread into large clumps and do look good..Fingers xd.
