Botanical Name: Gazania rigens (Yellow Cultivars)

Common Names: Gazania, Treasure Flower, African Daisy (Gazania)

📌 Product Description

Gazania rigens is a hardy, low-growing flowering plant known for its bright yellow daisy-like blooms that open in full sun. The vivid flowers create a cheerful display and contrast beautifully against the plant’s grey-green foliage.

This fast-spreading groundcover forms a dense mat, making it ideal for covering large areas, suppressing weeds, and adding long-lasting colour to the landscape. The flowers bloom repeatedly through the warmer months and close at night or in cloudy conditions.

Highly adapted to South African conditions, Gazania is drought tolerant, low maintenance, and perfect for water-wise gardens.
