Osteospermum ‘Blue Eyed Beauty’ (Osteospermum ecklonis ‘Blue Eyed Beauty’)

Osteospermum ‘Blue Eyed Beauty’ (Osteospermum ecklonis ‘Blue Eyed Beauty’) is a spectacular African Daisy prized for its vibrant golden-yellow blooms and distinctive iridescent blue-purple centres. This award-winning variety creates an unforgettable display in containers, borders, and garden beds, delivering months of cheerful colour from late spring until frost.

The large daisy-like flowers feature bright yellow petals surrounding an eye-catching metallic blue centre ring that transitions to deep purple near the flower's heart. This unique colour combination creates a striking contrast rarely seen in the garden and makes Blue Eyed Beauty a standout focal point wherever it is planted. The blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the growing season.

Blue Eyed Beauty forms a compact, mounded plant with attractive green foliage and excellent branching. Its long flowering season and tidy growth habit make it ideal for patio containers, mixed planters, border plantings, and mass displays. The flowers open fully in sunlight and create a brilliant display during warm, sunny weather.

In Alberta, Blue Eyed Beauty performs exceptionally well as a summer annual, providing reliable blooms and vibrant colour from planting time until frost.
