    I was thinking off growing some Cape Daisies next year. I think they are from the same family as the Osteospermum . Do the flowers only open in full sunlight ?

    TIA

    Hi H

    I thought they were the same thing Osteospermum & Cape Daisy ? They need a sunny well drained spot and best grown by them selves they hate competing with other plants they just sulk and wont flower

      I like all the African Daisies, but when seen close up, you cant beat Gazania.
