The Osteospermum ‘4D Blue Ice’ is a remarkable flowering annual known for its double flowers in pale lavender to silvery tones, highlighted by a more intense purplish-blue center. The overlapping petals give it a full, textured appearance, typical of the 4D series.
Unlike many African daisies, varieties in the 4D series often continue to remain open even on cloudier days, allowing for more enjoyment of their blooms. The plant forms a compact and well-branched clump, ideal for flowerbeds, containers, and pots.
Flowering is particularly abundant in spring and early summer and can extend until the first frosts under good conditions.
