    I just bought a Osteospermum Sunshine Beauty. I noticed one flower is curling under. I can’t find anything on this. Just wondering if it’s an issue or of it will staighten out eventually

    Hi cnejelski, is it the leaves that are curling over or the flower? Perhaps you can share a picture or two? Usually leaves curling over is either aphids or fungus. If aphids usually they stay green, if fungus they start turning yellow, brown and whatnot. If the flower buds are drooping down, maybe there’s either a lack or excess of water?

    Loving the season!

    I think that this will straighen out in a couple of weeks, so you don’t have to worry at all.
