Nice one, Johnjoe! Definitely a "keeper", if you can.
Let the flower head mature until you see lots of fuzzy stuff protruding from the center. The seeds are attached to the base of the fuzz. When the fuzz and seeds come off easily in your fingers, collect them, and keep them in a paper bag to keep them dry until you plant them next spring. If you live in a particularly mild part of Ireland, you might want to try starting some seeds now, since the red-orange varieties are particularly frost hardy, and often grow better in the winter, though they'll probably wait until spring to bloom. There's no telling what color the seedlings will bloom, though some, at least will probably be close to their mother in appearance--some may be even better!

Hi Tugbrethil. Thank you for that information.Much appreciated Jj.

Hallo JohnJoe! Here in my South African garden the gazanias grows like weed. Once you have them in your garden, you'll always have them. They sow the seed themselves and just keep going on. I don't have to do anything. As long as they get enough sun, they will thrive. Good luck to you!

Well, Daglelie, part of that depends on how cold Jj's garden gets in the winter! We have a fair number of volunteer seedlings here--they sprout in the fall and revel in the mild days and chilly nights of winter. Facing a cold, wet, and possibly snowy winter may well kill any seeds in the ground, so saving and deliberately planting in the spring might work better for him.

Thanks Tuabrethil I but them in the glasshouse witch has no heating.And have for the last 3 years and they have survived.Maybe it was luck. This time last year I saved some seeds with a little white feather on them. Planted them in spring in the glasshouse in seed boxes with no success. I must have done something wrong.

Well, first you want to start them in a fast draining soil suitable for succulents or alpines. They're less picky after they have five or six true leaves, but the young seedlings seem to need that extra air around the roots. In the same way, I would cover the seeds with about 3 mm of horticultural sand instead of soil. The ideal temperature for germination is probably around 10-15 C, and much below 5 C, the seeds are likely to rot before they sprout. With temps above 27 C, water just makes them rot. Hope this helps!

Thanks again Tugbrethil.

Thanks Daglelie I think i will have to move to South Africa to get some success with them. LOL. Regards John.
