Gazania (Gazania Rigens Kiss Frosty Red) - With lovely 3 inch red blooms flowers on silvery foliage, dependability and versatility, you will want to start Gazania seeds and enjoy them in different places in your landscape. Gazania Treasure Flowers are native to South Africa, and they are not picky about soil, they love sun and heat, and they are fairly drought tolerant. This Kiss Gazania has a compact 10 inch plant which will also spread 10 inches. The large, daisy-like flowers are bright red in color, and they are held above the basal silvery foliage, forming a bright carpet of color when planted in large masses. Gazania is perfect for ground cover!
Gazania Treasure Flowers are good plants for the front of sunny garden borders and also perform well as a flowering ground cover when planted in large groups. Because of their heat and drought tolerance, Kiss Gazanias are especially useful near driveways and sidewalks. They also do well in mixed container plantings, pots, baskets and window boxes as well. Gazania are known for closing their flowers at night and on cloudy days, but this Kiss series produces blooms that stay opened more so that you can enjoy them more!
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; however, gazanias are quite heat and drought tolerant once established.
