How to Collect the Seeds of Osteospermum/ African Daisy | Easiest Way to Propagate| BirdofParadise

Grow Osteospermum for free! Osteospermum, also known as African Daisy, is a perennial flower that dawns beautiful white, purple, and other mixed-colored flowers. Sometimes referred to as "blue eyed beauty", it attracts butterflies and bees to the garden, and makes a wonderful ground cover. I will show you a fast and simple trick that will help you multiply Osteospermum quickly and for free. You can do this to grow Osteospermum fast, and on a budget. Osteospermums enjoy full sun, and look beautiful in pots, or dabbled throughout the yard. African Daisy (daisy bushes) is drought- tolerant, which makes it very hardy and easy to grow. AND VERY HARD TO KILL!

They are hardy in zones 10-11 and they are also deer-resistant and rabbit resistant. Seeds are best planted in early spring and fall, but in zone 10b, they can be sowed throughout each season.

Just wanted to say thank you. I actually purchase a plant from a nursery and was wondering if I could collect the seeds and plant then next year!

Thx for the info about the seeds. Very helpful.

I just noticed all the monarch’s this year in my garden because I replanted a couple of bushes into my front garden ( which is mainly succulents now ) The one African daisy bush I purchased many years ago was growing completely neglected in a corner of my back garden and because it was half shaded under an English rose bush it self seeded and popped out a bunch of new plants! I love them so much but they need extra mulch here in Perth because they suffer badly during our summers. Parts of mine died off so this year I will add mulch.

I tried for years to propagate with cuttings with limited success. Last year in early spring I was digging around and saw many tiny seedlings, and that got me thinking I could grow them from seeds, though wasn't sure how successfully, but planted here and there anyway. It's been one year since I did that and now I have good strong mature planted all over my garden where they were seeded. And they are full of buds so looking forward to a beautiful show in a few weeks! Thanks for the wonderful tip. Subscribed!

When I walk the pup I gather a few seeds along the way. I have soooo many flowers! Hardly ever buy one, maybe once a year if even that. I also cut a stem from a rose Bush, dip the bottom tip in rooting compound, keep em moist after planting. Moist, not flooded. . I make the hole with a screwdriver then place the stem. I have perhaps 15 rose bushes from stems plus the ones I bought years ago. Yes, they take awhile to become bushy, maybe 3 years here in CA, but I’m not going anywhere. They’re very hardy.

This year I will collect the seeds and have them for next summer in my balcony 👍. Save lots money....$10 for one plant at Walmart....heck nooo!!! . Thanks for the video 👍👍

I purchased osteospermum Zion Purple Sun last season, but found that they don't set seeds. So I dug up a few and overwintered in garage ( Zone 6) to have again this year. This season I purchase Blue Eyed Daisy osteospermum and can see that they do set seed ! Will save seeds and sow for next year and save lots of money !! Thanks !

Okay I love how you have the ones with the pink tips on them most of the African daisies I have our blue centered with the yellow bright leaves do I need to get a specific seed variety or do I need to purchase one of these Bright lights proven winners pink variety to get others with the pink tips on them because they are probably my favorite

[solorider]

[iPodknowsbestkohtube]

[gailpengelly]

Hey there, firstly THANK YOU, your video was a great help. I’ve got some seedlings that are roughly 3” tall should I plant them out now (3rd week in May) OR move them to individual pots until they’re taller and more established. Btw...I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 so our climate is not like yours🙄🙄🙄❤️😂

[normanmcintosh]

Is it best to sow “green” seeds or dry them first and sow the “brown” dried seed ?
I’m experimenting with both options right now. Your video is very helpful and I’ve found a lot of seeds off one plant. Thanks

[STR_GLXYS]

Is this plant a host for painted lady butterfly eggs?

[jaycilangehennig]

I bought one of these yesterday but the center is just white. Will they turn more purple the more it matures?
