Coloured Daisy

Osteospermum jucundum

Description

Groundcover plant with daisy-like flowers in pink with dark center, long flowering period. Very drought resistant and easy to grow.

Growing tips

The colourful daisy needs an outdoor spot with direct sun, ideally between 6 and 10 hours a day, as it is not suitable for indoors. Watering should be sparse, allowing the substrate to dry out well between waterings, since it is very drought-resistant. It tolerates light frosts down to -5 °C, making it ideal for Mediterranean climates, and is best planted in spring or autumn. To encourage prolonged pink flowering throughout spring, summer and autumn, deadhead spent flowers regularly.
