This gazania is a surefire winner in any flower bed due to its visual appeal and continual dependability. It boasts 4 inch flowers in a vast array of colors on a compact 8 - 10 inch plant which will also spread 6 - 8 inches.
Gazanias grow as a perennial in USDA zones 8 - 11 reaching a low growing height of only 8 - 10 inches.
You can grow gazania plants in clusters for a mass bedding ground cover or you can even use this gazania mix in hanging baskets or in patio containers which are in full sun. Gazania rigens is a native of South Africa that is easy and fun to grow.
Flowers bloom in solid colors from bright yellow to orange, red, pink and white, or in wild color combinations with splashy stripes or rings of contrasting colors. Gazanias are considered an annual in the north but is a short-lived perennial in the south. If you deadhead the flowers and toss them where you want more, they will re-seed readily from their flower seeds.
Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant. Gazania is a tough little plant that prefers full sun, will tolerate all soils and thrives with moderate watering. It will bloom profusely through fall, winter and into late spring in the south, then flower intermittently during the hottest months of summer before bringing forth another profuse flowering in the fall.

Product Description

Thick Ground Cover

These gazanias are well-branched plants that grow quick and low, making them an excellent ground cover.

Gazania (Gazania Rigens New Day Mix)

These gazania plants bloom profusely and add a wide array of color to flower beds or containers! Also called Treasure Flower, Gazania plants look wonderful grouped in clusters for a mass bedding ground cover, but can also planted in hanging baskets or in patio containers. Gazania rigens is a native of South Africa, and it needs full sun and soil that drains well. Gazania is known to re-seed, and it blooms profusely from summer through fall in cooler climates, and fall, winter and spring in hot climates.

Gazania care includes deadheading the spent flowers to promote the growth of more blooms. Gazania plants benefit from an application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every other week during the growing season. Water Treasure Flower plants slowly and deeply and let them dry out in-between waterings, as they are quite drought tolerant. Applying an organic mulch around the base of the plants helps to retain moisture.

How To Grow

In colder climates, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last expected frost. Seeds should be pressed into soil but not covered: light is needed for germination. Keep seeds moist until germination.

After germination, reduce watering and grow seedlings in a sunny window location. For warmer climates, seeds can be started directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed after frost danger.

Deadhead spent blooms to promote growth of more flowers. Plants benefit from an application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every other week during the growing season.
