Default Senetti

I picked up a pot of my usual purple osteospermum from the nursery, and saw they had loads of Senetti at £3. I'd never heard of it, so left it behind.
Senetti® plants for sale.
Now I've read up a bit, and I wish I'd got one.
Anyone else grow them, are they really easy? Long flowering season?

I bought one a few weeks back cos they're so striking. I asked the nurserywoman about them and she said they are annuals but the MIGHT overwinter. I think the flowering season is quite long, as in from Spring right through the summer.
Whilst I was there I got some really lovely osteospermum in coppery tones.
