Osteospermum 'Magenta', is a compact, bushy perennial often grown as an annual in cooler climates. The plant features green, lance-shaped foliage and produces a profusion of daisy-like flowers in vivid magenta hues from spring through autumn. The blooms close at night and in overcast weather, reopening with the sun. It is commonly used in borders, containers, and mass plantings for its bright colour, long flowering period, and ability to attract pollinators.
