Origin & Breeding History: 'Daosto' originated from the cross 'Desdemona' x unknown parent, made in Odense, Denmark in 2002. The breeder selected the new variety from the progeny of this cross on the basis of its compact form and free flowering habit. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new osteospermum varieties with a uniform and compact plant form and attractive colourful flowers.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Daosto' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2006/0531, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany, in 2007. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart
