hello yes these are gazinnias. a lovely annual for full sun.

I hope Sbg means Gazanias. They are in fact perennials, but will not survive less than 5c so best treated as annuals.

i do indeed owd cant spell and morphed it with zinnias :o) I hadnt realised it was a perennial as I have always found they died overwinter. so a half hardy perennial then?

They are sold as perennials in my local GC but even here in the southeast I too grow them as annuals.

They're perennials here, but don't like temps less than -3 C.

thanks .your answers were very helpful
