Gazania seeds — dazzling sun-loving daisies
Gazania, the treasure flower, opens huge, satiny daisy blooms in fiery orange, gold, bronze and pink, often striped or zoned at the centre — brilliant in sun and superb for hot, dry spots. These vivid plants sit within our drought-tolerant flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.
Few flowers shine as brightly in full sun — the calendar shows when to sow.
Built for heat and containers
Thriving in sun-baked, free-draining soil, gazania is a star among drought-tolerant flowers, and its low, tidy habit makes it perfect for pots and sunny edges — a natural fit for our container-friendly flowers.
Growing gazania from seed
Sow under cover in early spring and keep it warm to germinate. Plant out after the last frost into the hottest, sunniest spot you have, water sparingly once established, and deadhead to keep the daisies opening. The blooms close in dull weather and blaze open in sunshine.
