Gazania (Gazania Rigens New Day Rose Striped): A Surefire Winner for Vibrant Ground Cover
These gazania plants are well-branched, quick-growing, and low-spreading, making them an excellent choice for ground cover. Gazania, also known as Treasure Flower, is a native of South Africa that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
Gazania plants bloom profusely, adding vivid color to flower beds or containers. The 4-inch cream and rose-striped flowers adorn compact 12-inch plants that can spread up to 12 inches, making them ideal for mass bedding ground cover in USDA Zones 8-11. These gazanias can also be planted in hanging baskets or patio containers to great effect.
Gazania flowers come in a range of solid colors, including bright yellow, orange, red, pink, and white, as well as wild color combinations with splashy stripes or rings of contrasting hues. Considered annuals in colder climates, gazanias are short-lived perennials in warmer regions.
To promote the growth of more blooms, deadhead the spent flowers. Gazania plants benefit from an application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every other week during the growing season. These drought-tolerant plants should be watered slowly and deeply, allowing them to dry out between waterings. Applying an organic mulch around the base of the plants helps to retain moisture.
For colder climates, start gazania seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the seeds into the soil, but do not cover them, as they require light for germination. Keep the seeds moist until they germinate. After germination, reduce watering and grow the seedlings in a sunny window location. In warmer climates, seeds can be started directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed after the danger of frost has passed.
