How to Grow
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. The Gazania make a great permanent ground cover in areas where they are perennial, particularly southern California and the deep South. The Gazania is hardy in zones 8 - 10, and is a fabulous long-season annual elsewhere.
