If you're looking to add some spark to your garden this summer, look no further than gazania. This flame-like plant produces incredibly striking orange, yellow, cream and red flowers and loves hot, dry, sunny and even windy growing conditions.For a perfect planting buddy, partner it with livingstone daisies. These bright coloured plants thrive in the same conditions as gazania. Because of this, both plants are great for mass planting on dry slopes, bedding, ground cover, edging and in pots.
And for the same reasons, gazania and livingstone daises are both perfect to plant now as the weather warms up. They're especially good to grow if you plan on being out and about or away a bit over the warmer months - once planted, they require little to no care.
Grab your gazania and livingstone daisy plants next time you're down at your local supermarket, Bunnings or The Warehouse. Otherwise, head to our online shop and order your seedlings from our online store. We have three bundles of gazania available - kiss orange flame, kiss rose and our mixed bundle.
Make sure the area you choose to plant in is well-drained, rather than hard and wet. Dig a hole and pop a seedling in. Plant them quite close together - about 200mm apart - as they don't tend to spread far when they grow.
In around six to eight weeks your garden should have some extra spark of hot, summer colour to last the whole season.
