Gazania

gorgeous colours

Thank you, I've let the seeds fall all summer. I have loads and loads of baby Gazanias now. Will have a lovely display next spring.

lucky you Alex.

Alexandramou:

Great shot!

It can be quite invasive, right?

Not at the moment Delonix1...I've left all the flowers dry out on the plant this summer and now I have tons of baby gazania. Will move them around in spring. Maybe it's invasive where you are because of the lack of rain?

Alexandramou:

Gazania is very widely grown here. It's so drought tolerant and naturalizes easily.

I tell you Delonix1 this plant has surprised me....it does better when it gets rain and loads of water than during the summer months when it's hot and dry. Go figure.

Alexandramou:

It is very drought tolerant! However, it does probably grow better in the winter when we get our rains.
