Gazania spp. Rose

Common Name:
Gazania

Description:
Gazania 'Rose' is a vibrant and hardy flowering perennial known for its striking daisy-like blooms in shades of rosy pink with contrasting dark centres and golden-yellow eyes. Flowering prolifically from spring through to autumn, and often beyond in mild conditions, this low-growing plant creates a colourful display that thrives in sunny, dry positions. Its silvery-green foliage forms a dense spreading mound, making it ideal for borders, rockeries, coastal gardens, mass plantings, and pots. Highly tolerant of heat, drought, and poor soils once established, Gazania 'Rose' is perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate and requires minimal maintenance. Flowers open fully in sunlight and attract beneficial pollinators, adding long-lasting seasonal colour to the garden.
