Gazania (Gazania Rigens New Day Red Striped) - Commonly referred to as Treasure Flower, this incredible beauty is grown from Gazania seeds, and it is a winner for the flower border, container or window box. Gazania Treasure Flower drought tolerant plants are native to South Africa, and 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.
This lovely Gazania red striped flower has 4 inch yellow blooms with a red stripe on each petal. Gazania Treasure Flower will spread about 12 inches making it a wonderful ground cover plant. It needs full sun and soil that drains well. Treasure Flowers are known to re-seed, and they 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. Applying an organic mulch around the base of the Gazania plants helps to hold moisture in.
