Osteospermum ecklonis – The Cape Marguerite (Asteraceae)
If you’ve ever admired a daisy-like flower with a striking dark center and petals that close when clouds roll in, you’ve likely encountered Osteospermum ecklonis, commonly known as the Cape Marguerite (synonym: Dimorphotheca ecklonis). This stunning member of the Asteraceae family is a favourite in gardens for its showy blooms, low-maintenance care, and long flowering season.
