Osteospermum jucundum (common name Osteospermum)

Wow great photo, I like the simple fllowers so do the bees.

There are a couple of much darker ones available try the plant finder,there are also more colours but they are not hardy.

Hi there Sprizthenry, my trusty set of plant tomes tell me that they come in shades of bluey-purple, pink, white and yellow. Osteospermum 'Whirlygig' is the most fantastic looking thing - the species name jucundum only appears next to a pink variety. Hope this helps.

Yes it does, joey, thanks. I'd come to the conclusion that jucundum ones are pink, and I think that's the one I have - so now I need to look at others in the plant finder that have different names! I don't really like the 'Whirlygig' one - personal preference, I suppose.

Thanks also Wyeboy - I have got really confused with the Plantfinder, it doesn't say whether the plants listed are perennials. Do I assume that they all are in there? or are they perennials but not hardy? I can't cope with digging them up and overwintering in the greenhouse. What a confused person I am! I still need recommended named varieties, I think.

That is gorgeous Spritz! The blue centre really draws the eye into the flower.
