Osteospermum 'Whirligig'

I've put these lovelies to bed for the winter this afternoon. Felt really sorry for them as I pruned them down as they were still full of flowers and buds! See you again next year lovely flowers. 💜😊💜 #africandaisy #osteospermum #white #purple #tender #tagitgreen

They are wonderful, I've left a few flower stalks but cut rest back too today 💜👌 hope our Winter is a mild one then they will soon be back 👍

A wonderful sight to look forward to! Even the name is great!

I did the same to my yellow ones today. I felt like I was murdering the poor thing as it was full of flowers 😊

I know angie @angiecrazycatlady I felt like total murderer 😱🔪🔪🔪 poor things!

I have left mine out for years and they seem to winter well, must be in a sheltered spot 😊

I must admit I way toying with the idea of leaving them but chickened out at the last minute Kat @katgreen 😬😬😬

Oh I don't know what to do with mine now @mrsflowerpot @katgreen I was going to take them out but they are in a raised bed in a sheltered spot so think I might leave them now as still got a few flowers on. Should I cut them down though after they have flowered or should I do it now 😘

Oh I didn't realise you could do this thrown all but one of mine 😳

Either is fine Suzie @jadojado29 if you want to enjoy the flowers for a little longer leaves them for a while 👍🏻👍🏻
