If they do, the plants will go into "sleep mode" and survive the period of drought, but they will abort their flower buds and not easily come b |

O. fruticosum 'Whirligig' Trailing African Daisy - Strange Exotic Flower This flower starts out like a normal daisy, but after it blooms the petals start to curl over, creating the Whiligig look. I've found this flower on-line, but many were calling it the "Blue Bell Tunicate", which is incorrect. This is an extremely exotic looking flower. How very strange and creative it is. Spreads rapidly from cuttings. Osteospermum means Bone-Seeds. |
