Google says "The genus Osteospermum was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753" and refers to the very hard seed. Thanks for your information, I will know to take them in over Winter!
Greeting's from Ireland, These are the only annual's I have, I grow them from seed and grow them in pot's for the summer. In autumn I collect the seed's and grow them in a propagator in spring.
I keep getting tons of tiny bugs that crawl all over the flowers. Not aphids or spider mites. They look like little worms. Just teeeny tiny. They’re not on the leaves or stems. Just the flowers. I’ve tried so many things to get rid of them and they come back within a day.
