Gazania rigens Daybreak Red Stripe

Common Name:
Treasure Flower

Description:
Gazania rigens 'Daybreak Red Stripe' is a striking, low-growing perennial renowned for its large daisy-like flowers featuring bold red stripes over bright golden-yellow petals. This eye-catching variety delivers vibrant colour from spring through to autumn, with blooms opening fully in sunny conditions and closing at night or during overcast weather. Its compact spreading habit and attractive green to silvery foliage make it an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, coastal gardens, mass plantings, and containers. Exceptionally tolerant of drought, heat, wind, and poor soils once established, this hardy gazania thrives in Melbourne’s climate with minimal maintenance. The vivid flowers attract bees and other pollinators while providing a cheerful and long-lasting display throughout the warmer months.
