Re: pictures and comments from Vera

Well, Vera, it's not Osteospermum, African Daisy, then.  It is hardy Zones
8-10.  I'd have guessed you had a Shasta Daisy - they will spread like that.
But they bloom in summer, not fall - or possibly summer into fall.  So I
don't really know what you have.  But anything that grows that vigorously
should be able to take a pruning.
