Flowers are 2–3 inches wide, opening in sun, closing at night and on cloudy days. Colors: orange petals with purple-pink tips and a dark blue center ring. Blooms heavily in spring/fall; slows in summer heat.

It requires full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate water. Hardy to zone 9–10; elsewhere a cool-season annual. Deadhead for continuous bloom. Use in borders, containers, and mass plantings. The bicolor effect is spectacular in spring. A modern, high-performance osteospermum.
