Gazania spp. Red

Common Name: Red Gazania

Botanical Name: Gazania spp.

Description:
Red Gazania is a bold and striking sun-loving perennial, prized for its large, daisy-like flowers in deep red hues, often accented with a darker central ring. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for rockeries, borders, mass plantings, and pots. Flowering from spring through autumn, it provides long-lasting colour while attracting bees and butterflies. Red Gazania is ideal for coastal and low-water gardens, as it can withstand dry and sandy conditions. Its blooms open with the morning sun and close at night or on overcast days, adding dynamic movement to the landscape.
