Description
Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa.
They produce large, daisy-like composite flowers in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, over a long period in summer.[7] They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover
Gazania species are grown for the brilliant color of their flower heads which appear in the late spring and are often in bloom throughout the summer into autumn. They prefer a sunny position and are tolerant of dryness and poor soils.
Numerous cultivars have been selected for variety of color and habit. In temperate regions, they are usually grown as half-hardy annuals. A commonly grown variety is the trailing gazania. It is commonly used as groundcover and can be planted in masse to cover large areas or embankments, assisted by its fast growth rate. Cultivars of this variety include 'Sunburst', 'Sunglow', and 'Sunrise Yellow'. Another popular cultivated variety is the clumping gazania which has a number of named cultivars including 'Aztec', 'Burgundy', 'Copper King', 'Fiesta Red', 'Goldrush' and 'Moonglow'
