Osteosperum/African Daisy Questions please.

I love the colors that I see in the garden centers....white with blue eye and lavender colors with blue.

I've seen packets of seed for these but only in the white/orange coloring.

Is there a different variety I should be looking for? Will I need to buy the plant? Will the seed come "true" for color? Can I dig it up and care for it inside during the winter....or take a cutting and try to keep it inside?

I will admit, I haven't done a search for seed of my favorite colors from seed catalogs. I did get an email selling the plants though. The prices??? geeze! I know I can get the plants at Lowes or Home Depot in the spring. I was hoping to take the cheaper route.

Has anyone started them from seed? Or tried winter sowing them? Thanks for your thoughts! LC Grace
