Total:

Gazania (Gazania rigens), the treasure flower, is a low, mat-forming annual or tender perennial grown for its large, brilliantly striped daisy flowers in orange, yellow, red, pink and cream that open wide in sunshine. Exceptionally heat- and drought-tolerant, it thrives in hot, dry, sunny spots and sandy or coastal soils where it forms dense, colourful ground cover. The silvery-backed foliage and bold blooms make it ideal for edging, rockeries, pots and embankments. Flowers close in dull weather and at night, opening again to the sun. Tough, undemanding and long-flowering, gazania is perfect for low-water Indian gardens and balconies.

Growing tips

Perfectly suited to hot, dry Indian conditions; sow in the warm season and place in the sunniest, best-drained spot. Avoid overwatering and shade, as blooms stay shut without strong sun.

Gazania Care

Gazania rigens is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant plant that thrives in full sun and free-draining soil, making it well suited to Indian gardens and balconies. Water moderately once established and let the topsoil dry between waterings, as it dislikes soggy roots. The yellow flowers open in bright light and close on dull, overcast days, so give it the sunniest spot you have. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more flowers through the season.

Where to place Gazania Yellow

Gazania performs best in open, sunny positions such as balcony railings, windowsills, rock gardens and the front edges of borders. Because it stays low and spreading, it works well in containers, hanging baskets and as ground cover along paths and driveways. In hot, dry areas where many plants struggle, its heat tolerance makes it a reliable choice for exposed terraces.

Gazania Benefits & Uses

The bright yellow, daisy-like blooms of Gazania add long-lasting colour with very little upkeep, ideal for busy gardeners. Its drought tolerance means it needs less frequent watering than most flowering plants, helping conserve water in warmer regions. Grown in groups, it forms a cheerful carpet of colour that attracts bees and other pollinators to your garden.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water gazania?
Water sparingly, only when the soil is quite dry. Gazania is very drought-tolerant and rots easily if kept too wet.
How much sun does gazania need?
It needs full, bright sun; the flowers physically close in shade or dull weather, so the sunnier the spot the better.
Is gazania safe for pets?
Yes, gazania is non-toxic to cats, dogs and humans and is safe to grow around pets and children.
Does gazania need repotting?
Often grown as an annual, it rarely needs repotting. As a tender perennial it can be refreshed or divided every year or two.
How do I propagate gazania?
Grow from seed in warm soil, or divide established clumps. Cuttings of side shoots also root in gritty, well-drained mix.
Why won't my gazania flowers open?
Gazania blooms only open in bright sun; in shade, cloudy weather or at night they stay closed. Give it the sunniest position.
How do I get more blooms?
Deadhead faded flowers regularly and keep it in full sun with lean, dry soil to maximise flowering.
Can I grow gazania indoors?
It needs intense direct sun to open its blooms, so it is unsuitable indoors. Grow it outdoors in full sun.
Is gazania toxic if eaten?
No, gazania is non-toxic, although it is an ornamental and not grown for eating.
What fertilizer should I use?
Feed lightly once a month at most; it thrives in poor soil and over-feeding reduces flowering.
