Osteospermum (Osteospermum x hybrida)

Large daisy like flowers on top of glossy green succulent foliage. Flower colors range from pastels to iridescent, hot colors. Good for containers. Good plant for early spring and fall garden as many cultivars will tend to go out of flowering during the heat of the season. Look for those that offer more heat tolerance. Will also tolerate light frosts and continue to offer color.
