Osteospermum

Osteospermum, sometimes called Cape Daisies are good spring and fall bedding plants. They reduce flowering a bit in the heat of summer, but new varieties hold up in the heat better than those of a few years ago. The yellow and white varieties seem to be the best summer bloomers.

Cape Daisies are somewhat frost tolerant and are tolerant of drought once they are established.
