Gazania (Gazania Rigens New Day Yellow) - Grown from Gazania seeds, this little gem is a reliable performer that you'll want year after year as as bedding plant, a ground cover, in pots on the patio, and in window boxes as well. Gazania Treasure Flower boasts 4 inch bright yellow colored flowers on a compact 8 - 10 inch plant which will also spread 6 - 8 inches. It is gorgeous when grown as a ground cover plant and quickly fills in an empty area with lovely yellow flowers.

Gazania rigens is a native of South Africa. In a frost-free climate, they will grow as perennials. In colder climates, they can be grown as an annual, and they will have flowers in 12 weeks after starting the flower seeds. Treasure Flowers bloom profusely from summer through fall in cooler climates and fall, winter and spring in hot climates.

If growing Gazania seeds in colder climates, start the flower seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Treasure Flower seeds should be pressed into the soil but not covered and kept moist but not saturated until germination occurs. After germination of the flower seeds, reduce watering and grow seedlings in a sunny window location. For warm climates, start the Gazania seeds directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed. Space the ground cover seed 8 - 12 inches apart in the seedbed.

Gazania care includes deadheading the spent flowers to promote the growth of more blooms. Also, Gazania plants benefit from an application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every other week during the growing season or mix in a slow-release fertilizer at the time of transplanting or preparing the seedbed. Water Gazania Treasure Flower plants slowly and deeply and let them dry out in-between waterings as they do not need much water since they are resistant to drought.  Applying an organic mulch around the base of the Gazania plants helps to hold moisture in.

Common Questions

Q

Do gazania flowers close up at night?

A

The flowers are light-sensitive and don't open at night or on cloudy, overcast days.

Q

Do I need to deadhead my gazania flowers?

A

Q

Do gazanias come back every year?

A

Yes, gazanias are perennial and should come back every year in USDA zones 9-11, assuming the plant is healthy.

Q

Can I encourage more blooms with gazania flowers?

A

Yes, make sure they are planted in enough sunlight and fertilize regularly during the bloom season. Do not allow the soil to dry out for too long if you want to keep your plants blooming.
