Native to South Africa, gazanias create a stunning show in a hot, sunny position in the garden. Growing Gazanias bloom in vivid shades of red, yellow, orange, pink and white and can be two tone or multi-colored. In dull weather, the blooms close their petals but they soon put on a bright show again as soon as the sunshine returns.In areas where it is hardy, landscapers use this plant in combination with other low growers as an ornamental ground cover to edge lawns or even replace parts of them. Learning how to prune trailing Gazanias allows the home gardener to use Gazania treasure flowers in this manner.When growing Gazanias, expect the plant to reach 6 to 18 inches in height and about the same in spread as it trails on the ground. A clumping mound of grass-like foliage produces Gazania treasure flowers. This easy-to-grow bloom is tolerant of poor, dry or sandy soil.Height up to 10- 15 cm (4-6 inch) ,colorful cheerful daisy-like blooms. Heat and salty spray don’t deter its growth or beautiful blossoms either, making it a perfect specimen for oceanfront growing.
