The earthly sun of South Africa
Native to South Africa, the Gazania unfurls its radiant blooms with the first rays of sun, in shades of orange, yellow, and pink often streaked with contrast.
Drought-resistant and heat-loving, it quickly carpets the ground in flowers, ideal for rock gardens and sunny borders.
"The Gazania opens its flowers like so many little suns."

Full Sun
Give it the sunniest spot: its flowers only open fully in bright light.

Styling Tip 02
Infrequent Watering
Let the soil dry between waterings; it fears excess water far more than drought.
03
Styling Tip 03
Deadheading
