The golden, orange or yellow flowers of Osteospermum oppositifolium make a stunning show in spring.

Description

Osteospermum oppositifolium is a dwarf shrub up to 1 m high. The leaves are semi-succulent, opposite, oblong, greyish green with smooth margins. The large flower heads are solitary (borne singly) and pedunculate (short-stalked). The involucral bracts are brown, divided, with appendages on bracts, uniform, in a single row. The yellow or orange ray florets are distinctly longer than the involucre. The disc florets are dark purple. The fruits develop from the ray florets. They are three-winged, hence the genus name, with three apical windows. Flowering time is from autumn to spring (May to October) with peak flowering in late winter and spring, between August and September.
