972n Osteospermum rooted in water
I took six 10cm cuttings from my mum's osteospermum plant 10 days ago. I put then in water in a jam jar and left them outside and promptly forgot about them!
Today I found them again and every cutting has developed roots and two quite an extensive root system.
I'll pot them up shortly.
Most hardy osteospermum are basically white with maybe a slightly pink hue but this one is quite strongly pink and is fully hardy in Bradford which is mid latitude UK.
Here it is in bloom

The fancy deeply coloured osteospermum available now are not frost hardy in the UK
