Latin Name: Osteospermum ecklonis ‘4D’ 

The Osteospermum ‘4D’ is a dazzling, compact plant (often grown as an annual) prized for its unique, double-layered blooms and long flowering season. Growing 12–14 inches (30–35 cm) tall, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and cut flower gardens.

This innovative series features 3–4 inch (7–10 cm) flowers with two layers of petals: a outer ring of flat rays and a central “pom-pom” of shorter petals in vibrant purple, pink, white, or yellow. Blooms spring to frost, staying open longer (even on cloudy days) than traditional osteospermums.

Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Drought- and heat-tolerant once established. Hardy in zones 9–11 (often grown as an annual elsewhere).

Perfect for modern gardens, pair with blue salvia, silver artemisia, or red verbena.

Key Features:

• Flowers: Double-form, UV-reflective

• Foliage: Evergreen in warm climates

• Uses: Cut flowers, mass plantings

• Toxicity: Non-toxic.
