Gazania Dynamo™

Common Name:
Gazania Dynamo™

Description:
Gazania Dynamo™ is a bold and vibrant ground cover variety known for its large, vivid flowers and robust spreading habit. Featuring striking daisy-like blooms in intense shades of orange, yellow, and gold—often with contrasting central bands—Dynamo™ lights up the garden from late winter through to autumn. The glossy green foliage forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat, making it perfect for low-maintenance landscaping, nature strips, verges, rockeries, and embankments. This sun-loving variety thrives in Melbourne’s dry conditions, tolerating heat, drought, coastal winds, and light frost once established. It requires minimal care and will flower most prolifically in full sun with free-draining soil. Gazania Dynamo™ is ideal for mass planting where you want quick coverage and maximum seasonal colour with minimal water use.
