Gazania Seeds - Kiss Frosty Red - Large Round, Deep Red Flowers (100 Seeds)

Gazania, a versatile and dependable flower native to South Africa, has captured the hearts of gardeners worldwide. Known for its stunning 3-inch red blooms and silvery foliage, this low-maintenance plant thrives in sunny locations and is drought-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for various landscape applications.

The Gazania Treasure Flowers, part of the Kiss Frosty Red series, are compact plants that spread up to 10 inches, creating a vibrant carpet of color when planted in mass. These daisy-like flowers stand tall above the basal silvery foliage, adding a bright and eye-catching element to garden borders, ground covers, and mixed container plantings.

Unlike some Gazania varieties that close their flowers at night or on cloudy days, the Kiss series is known for its ability to maintain open blooms, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of these flowers for longer periods. This makes them an excellent choice for areas near driveways, sidewalks, and other high-traffic zones, where their heat and drought tolerance are particularly beneficial.

For gardeners in colder climates, starting Gazania seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost is recommended. The Treasure Flower seeds should be pressed into the soil but not covered, and kept moist but not saturated until germination occurs. After germination, reduce watering and grow the seedlings in a sunny window location.

In warm climates, Gazania seeds can be planted directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed, with the ground cover seed spaced 8-12 inches apart. Gazania care includes deadheading spent blooms to encourage continued flowering throughout the growing season.

Whether used as a ground cover, in mixed container plantings, or as a vibrant addition to garden borders, Gazania Treasure Flowers offer a versatile and low-maintenance solution for gardeners seeking a pop of color and a touch of resilience in their outdoor spaces.
