Gazania spp. Orange

Common Name: Orange Gazania

Botanical Name: Gazania spp.

Description:
Orange Gazania is a vibrant, sun-loving perennial known for its striking, daisy-like flowers in bright orange hues, often with a darker central ring. This hardy and low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it perfect for rockeries, borders, mass plantings, and pots. Flowering profusely from spring through autumn, it provides long-lasting colour while attracting bees and butterflies. Gazanias are highly drought-tolerant once established and can withstand coastal conditions, making them ideal for hot, dry landscapes. Their blooms close at night and on overcast days, reopening with the morning sun to create a dynamic and ever-changing display.
