Description

This is a trailing form of Gazania with gray, fuzzy leaves and bright yellow daisy-like flowers held above the foliage. A moderately fast growing, mat-like groundcover, it prefers light soil and good drainage in full sun to light shade. It should be irrigated in mornings so that foliage is dry at dusk. This superior form is quite tough, but some additional irrigation during the hottest portion of the summer will improve the appearance. Clumps usually are 8 to 10 inches tall by 2 feet or more across.

Water Saving Tip:

Water high water-use plants separately from low water-use plants.

Low water-use plants can grow with one-half the water needed by high water-use plants, and can be easily damaged from over watering.
