Chuxay Garden Yellow Gazania Seeds - Asteraceae Flowering Plants for Summer Bloom

Gazania, also known as the African daisy due to its daisy-like flowerheads, is a warm-weather perennial that produces large composite flowers in vibrant shades of yellow and orange. With its eye-catching color spectrum, this low-maintenance flower is perfect for adding brightness to difficult-to-landscape areas. It is a prolific bloomer that attracts butterflies. Gazanias can be planted in mid- or late spring after the soil has warmed, and they will bloom about 12 weeks after planting from seed. In zones 9 to 11, they may function as perennials, continuing to bloom through fall, winter, and into spring, and they can even withstand light frosts.

For gardeners looking for an attractive bloom that requires minimal maintenance, gazania flowers are an ideal choice. They are tolerant of the heat that radiates from pavement, making them suitable for sidewalk gardens or alongside driveways. Their preference for well-drained soil also makes them a natural fit for rock gardens. When planting young gazania plants, space them about one foot apart to allow for proper spreading.

When it comes to growing gazanias, it is recommended to sow the seeds directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. This can be done by sprinkling the seeds in an area of raked soil and covering them with soil to trigger germination. It is important to keep the area moist (but not wet) until germination takes place. Gazania flowers are light-sensitive and do not open at night or on cloudy, overcast days.

In terms of size, when grown, gazanias typically reach a height of 6 to 18 inches and have a similar spread as they trail on the ground. Their hardiness zone is 9-11, making them suitable for various climates. With their striking and vibrant flowers, gazanias are a beautiful addition to any garden or landscape, and their low-maintenance nature makes them a popular choice among gardeners.
