Packaging: We work with the best German, Spanish, Dutch and Chilean seed suppliers, which allows us to offer you Gazania Varied Colors seeds collected and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Crop duration: Gazania is a profusely flowering plant from spring to fall. Plants begin to flower approximately 8 to 10 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Gazania is known for its flowers that open in response to the sun, closing at dusk or on cloudy days. These flowers have a bright, cheerful appearance, with petals that often feature a contrast of vibrant colors. The plant has silvery-green foliage that is attractive even when not in bloom. Additionally, Gazania is highly drought-resistant, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens and arid areas.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Gazania is drought tolerant and prefers moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid waterlogging, as the roots are susceptible to rot in poorly drained soil.
Pests: Gazania is generally resistant to pests, although it can be occasionally affected by aphids and snails. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold resistance: Gazania is sensitive to intense cold, so in cold climates it is grown as an annual. In warm climates, it can behave as a perennial and flower all year round.
Substrate: A well-drained, slightly sandy substrate is recommended. Gazania prefers poor soils and is perfect for rocky or coastal gardens.
Harvest: Gazania flowers are great for adding color to the garden and can also be used in floral arrangements. To prolong flowering, prune back spent flowers regularly.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
