colors of the African daisy!

Osteospermum, commonly known as Cape marguerite, is a genus of flowering plants native to sub-Saharan Africa. The genus is part of the daisy family (Asteraceae), and Osteospermum species are characterized by their showy flower heads.

 

While most Osteospermum species require full sun to grow well, some varieties are more tolerant of shade. Cape marguerite generally needs at least six hours of direct sunlight each day to perform optimally. However, in very hot climates, some afternoon shade may be appreciated to prevent the flowers from scorching.
