Any one know what this plant is?
It was given to me in a small pot, bought from Morrisons.
I had no room or really wanted it but it survived neglect, bitter cold and drought so I planted it this spring. It's grown lot! Still neglected. So I'm thinking I should make use of it. The flowers are pretty.
No scent and not attractive to insects which is a shame.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

They're Osteospermums, maybe O. jucundum. Or possibly they're Dimorphotheca ecklonis, I can never tell the difference. They'll like your maritime winters. In fact there's a purple one called 'Tresco Purple' after the Channel Island, but I doubt if Morrison's sell named varieties. 🤔
Never believe anything until it's officially denied.

If you are lucky enough for them to be Osteospermums then you will have a prize in the garden this year and hopefully next!! I'm on a 50/20 ratio with them returning.

Thanks both, now I remember the name but couldn't for a couple of weeks 😊
Dusty I miss read your answer and thought it said Tesco purple 😄
Brie it didn't go with my scented/insect friendly garden but my neighbour gave it to me so I moved it around in a small pot thinking it would die over winter but it seems to survive every maltreatment. So with our current climate seems like one for the list of things that don't need watering.

I have two of these didn't know what they were called, thought it was a flowering weed at one point. It flowers all the time even after looking like it's died it springs back.

I did the same and then wondered why Tesco would not sell them 😂

I wouldn't know about what Tesco sells.
I worked for them on Friday evenings and Saturdays when I was 16. It was 'educational.'
Say no more! 🤐
