Description

Osteospermum ecklonis is a vibrant perennial plant native to South Africa. It is well-loved for its daisy-like flowers that bloom in an array of colors such as purple, white, pink, and yellow. Blooming from spring through fall, it adds cheerful color to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its dark green foliage complements the large, 5–7 cm blooms, and it thrives in sunny Mediterranean-style gardens. With moderate care and attention to watering and pruning, it provides long-lasting color. It’s an ideal choice for Cyprus’s climate due to its tolerance to heat and drought.
