Description

Origin Native to South Africa, the Cape basket (Osteospermum) belongs to the Asteraceae family. The numerous Osteospermum hybrids are particularly widespread and popular here, providing color in potted gardens and flower beds throughout the summer. Growth The sun-loving cape basket has a compact habit and can grow between 20 and 40 centimetres tall, depending on the variety, with its long-stemmed flowers being somewhat taller. It grows upright and bushy. Leaves The leaves of the cape basket are elongated, lanceolate and green. Flowers The flowers only open in the sun. Osteospermum is also known as Cape daisy because of the similarity of its flowers to the daisy. With a flowering period from May to September, it is a real continuous bloomer. The capitula flowers are often bicolored, often the underside of the petals appear in a different shade, sometimes the color also changes from the inside of the flower to the edge, which makes the cape capitula extremely versatile and decorative. The color palette of the flowers ranges from violet to pale pink to yellow. Orange-flowering and white-flowering varieties are the most common here. Fruits The seeds of Osteospermum develop in so-called achenes, i.e. nut-like nuts. They are winged.
