Description

Gazania Growing Conditions

Light: Gazanias thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They perform best in bright, sunny locations, opening their flowers only in full sun.

Soil: These plants prefer well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil. They can tolerate poor, dry soils but will benefit from added organic matter for improved growth and flowering.

Water: Gazanias are drought-tolerant and need minimal watering once established. Water regularly during the growing season, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Temperature: Gazanias are heat-tolerant and ideal for warm climates. They prefer temperatures above 20°C (68°F) but can tolerate cooler weather as long as it’s not frosty.

Fertilizer: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once in spring to boost blooming. Gazanias do not need heavy feeding and can grow well in nutrient-poor soils.

Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Gazanias are low-maintenance plants that require minimal care, making them ideal for water-wise gardens.

Gazanias are perfect for adding vibrant, daisy-like flowers to sunny borders, rock gardens, or containers, and their drought tolerance makes them an excellent choice for xeriscaping.
