Osteospermum fruticosum
A fast-growing, trailing evergreen perennial reaching 6 to 12 inches tall and spreading 2 to 4 feet or more, rooting as it runs to form a dense mat of gray-green foliage. It thrives in full sun with low to moderate water once established and tolerates coastal conditions and lean soils. A heavy flush of daisy flowers in lavender, purple, and white covers the planting in winter and spring, with scattered bloom at other times. A reliable choice for slope stabilization, bank cover, parkways, and broad low-water groundcover plantings needing quick coverage.
