Rachel's Journal

Looking great, sorry no help with name.

Glad they survived with you Rachel! Sorry I dont knowthe name of this variety as I have it for many years. Some of mine were damaged over the winter but glad to say are doing well now and starting to bloom too! They love the sun!

They will get plenty of sun where they are, Periwinkle, if ever the wind stops. These ones came through last winter, no bother, since they were in the ground. I love them.

I have one too,no idea from where(i have one-cuttings from some garden),was very happy to see it alive after winter,and now it flowering too.

After having these for many years I lost them last Winter - a great flowerer all Summer long - love the way they open up during the day and close in the evening when the sun goes down.

they are a great provider all summer, looks like the wind is blowing strong.

Great to have little plants like that surviving the winters.

I got some of these from a neighbour about two years ago and they just go from strength to strength. I left the foliage on them over the winter and then cut them to the ground in February. They aren't in flower yet (the usual 3 week delay for Laois) but they look very healthy and I look forward to the lovely display all summer long!

It's great to hear all these good reports. I love ordinary Osteospermum but can't keep it over winter. This is a great solution.
