4D Violet Ice Osteospermum (Osteospermum ecklonis ‘4D Violet Ice’)

4D Violet Ice Osteospermum (Osteospermum ecklonis ‘4D Violet Ice’) is a striking flowering annual prized for its fully double violet-purple blooms and exceptional summer performance. Unlike traditional osteospermum varieties, the 4D series features densely layered flowers that remain open day and night, providing continuous colour in patio containers, borders, and landscape plantings.

The richly coloured blooms feature soft violet and lavender tones surrounding intricate petal centres, creating an elegant and highly textured floral display. Its compact mounded growth habit keeps the plant neat and full while producing heavy flowering throughout the growing season. The blooms attract bees and butterflies while standing up well to summer heat and changing weather conditions.

In Alberta, 4D Violet Ice performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and moderate watering. It thrives during Prairie summers and maintains strong flowering performance through warm temperatures and sunny conditions. Regular deadheading and fertilizing help encourage nonstop blooming from spring until frost.
