Genus: Gazania

I think you answered my question. I've had cool afternoons, more sun in the morning.

I've got gazania first time this year and what a wonder. I wait with held breath for each to open up. Do yours open like this only in the morning? Thats what mine have been doing.

Yes they are annuals. They like plenty of sun. The flowers close up if the sun is not shining. We have hot summers here and our soil is sandy. Not that different to Ohio???? Equivalent to zone 6.

I love these. My guess is these are annuals - I wonder if they'd grow that pretty here in Dayton, Ohio?

Love the play of shadows and light on the flower petals, great shot !

What bright, cheery colors. A real show stopper !

very cheerful looking plants

Good that's encouraging.

I like these Gazanias. I think they're money well spent : )

OK - Janette, what's the best way to grow Gazanias please? (I might have to send her a private message in case she doesn't see this!)

U should Ask Janette on how best2 grow them,shes got really good green Fingers& posted some nice size Gazinias 2 me :)

I bought six of these as plug-plants and grew them on in the greenhouse - I shall definitely grow them again, I'll try seeds next year!

Petals r great shape spritz :)

I love these I have some Gazinia Tiger Stripes waiting to open any day now

What a lovely Gazania - lucky you!

Thats great.Thank you very much.
