Gazania (Gazania Splendens) - Easily grown from Gazania seeds, this incredible little flower is a delight all summer long! Gazania, or Treasure Flower as it's commonly called, is a hardy little plant that makes a wonderful ground cover. It is covered with large 3 - 4 inch blooms ranging in colors of red, yellow, orange, white and pink. Gazania drought tolerant ground cover plants will bloom 12 weeks after sowing the ground cover seed! You just can't improve upon these huge blooms, glowing with bright color, that completely cover the small plants. They reach 8 inches tall and spread 10 inches wide. Gazania Treasure Flower has a lot to brag about as a ground cover plant! With large, showy flowers, an early and long bloom season, and ultra-tolerant low, rapidly spreading foliage, you will want to sow the Treasure Flower seeds in your garden!
Hardy in zones 8 - 10, Gazania ground cover plants are a fabulous long-season annual elsewhere. Start Gazania seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost, or sow the ground cover seeds directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. They make a great permanent ground cover in areas where they are perennial -- particularly southern California and the deep South!
Common Questions
Do gazania flowers close up at night?
The flowers are light-sensitive and don't open at night or on cloudy, overcast days.
Do I need to deadhead my gazania flowers?
If you don’t want them to self-seed you will want to deadhead. Deadheading will also encourage a longer bloom season.
Do gazanias come back every year?
Yes, gazanias are perennial and should come back every year in USDA zones 9-11, assuming the plant is healthy.
Can I encourage more blooms with gazania flowers?
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.

Gazania (Gazania Rigens Kiss Mix) - This is one Gazania seed mix that is a surefire winner in any landscape setting! Known as Treasure Flower, Gazania performs faithfully and beautifully! Gazania Treasure Flowers boast 3 inch blooms in a mix of intense, bold colors. The plants are compact, 10 inches high and they spread 10 inches as well. Flowers are held above the basal foliage, forming a bright carpet of color when planted in large masses.
Drought tolerant Gazania plants are considered annuals in the cool climates, but in warmer climates like the southern Texas and parts of California, they're short-lived perennials, usually not lasting more than a few years. Treasure Flowers will re-seed readily, so leave a few blooms to go to seed. Gazania is a native of South Africa, and it is a tough little plant that prefers full sun, will tolerate all soils and thrive 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. In the cooler climates, it will flower from early summer until the frosts of fall.
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. Applying an organic mulch around the base of the Gazania plants helps to hold moisture in.
