OSTEOSPERMUM 'In the Pink'

Osteospermum ‘In the Pink’ is a sun-loving cape daisy valued for its bright pink, daisy-like flowers that open freely from early summer into early autumn. Best in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil (light/sandy suits it well), it forms a compact mound around 30–60cm and is ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens and containers. Evergreen in mild areas but half-hardy in Ireland, so protect from frost or overwinter containers under cover; ensure sharp drainage, especially in wet winters. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
