Description:
African Daisy '3D Pink' (Osteospermum '3D Pink') is a beautifully compact and richly coloured perennial from the 3D series, known for its unique double flowers that stay open day and night. This standout variety features a dense dome of vibrant pink central petals surrounded by a ring of lighter pink outer ray florets, giving it a lush, almost zinnia-like appearance. Flowering from early spring right through to autumn, '3D Pink' delivers season-long impact with minimal fuss. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate, and once established, it shows good resilience to dry conditions. Ideal for pots, borders, and cottage gardens, this Osteospermum is also a favourite with bees and beneficial insects. With its neat, mounded form and eye-catching blooms, it brings vibrant colour and texture to any sunny spot.
