Climbing osteospermum

| Last summer I bought a plant labelled "large white osteospermum" from a brilliant pavement garden stall in Gorran Haven in Cornwall. I expected it to be the usual height, about 10" but the stems just got longer and longer until I have had to make a cane tripod and tie them in. It seems to be delighted with this treatment - has anybody else had this experience or is it just the lack of sun and too much rain that has caused this growth habit? |

| I've had many Osteos over the years and never had one act like that. I dont think lack of sun would make one get that big. Do you have a photo? |

| No photo, sadly, as it has been wilting so badly I chopped it down in disgust this morning. I've never known an osteo do that either! Maybe there was a weevil at the roots somewhere. I got a few cuttings first, though. |
