Gazania

Gazania is a cheerful, sun-loving flower that bursts into life with bold, bright colors. Sometimes called the “treasure flower,” this plant is famous for its daisy-like blooms that open wide in full sun and close gently in the evening. Gazania comes in a stunning mix of shades — golden yellow, orange, red, pink, and even bi-colored petals with striking patterns that look hand-painted.

Growing low to the ground, Gazania forms a neat, spreading clump of silvery-green leaves, making it an excellent choice for borders, flower beds, or as a colorful ground cover. It’s also a popular pick for pots and hanging baskets, where its trailing habit shows off the flowers beautifully.

Gazania thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, even in hot, dry conditions where other flowers might struggle. It’s a tough little plant that doesn’t need much water once established, which makes it perfect for low-maintenance gardens or drought-prone areas. Deadheading (removing spent blooms) encourages even more flowers, keeping your garden colorful from spring through fall.

One of the best things about Gazania is how long it blooms. With proper care, it will keep producing flowers for months, attracting bees and butterflies and adding a constant pop of color to your outdoor space.

Whether you’re designing a pollinator-friendly garden, filling in bare spots with low-growing color, or just want an easy flower that thrives in sunny spots, Gazania is a reliable, show-stopping choice.
