Karrose asked in Home & GardenGarden & Landscape · 1 decade ago

Can you help me identify a purple flower with a yellow center?

It was seeded from either a wild flower mix or a butterfly garden mix. It's daisy shaped. It has way more petals and thinner petals than a cosmos but thicker petals than an aster. It also came up in shades of pink from almost white to almost magenta all with the same yellow centers. But most of the plants are purple. The bright yellow centers really contrast strikingly with the purple.

It's not a mum type daisy or shasta daisy.

Update:

I've checked every site about butterfly gardens, flower ID, everything I could think of before I resorted to here.

Update 2:

Osterospermum is close, but mine has more petals and a solid yellow center.
