Gazania ‘Kiss’ Mix

Gazania rigens ‘Kiss’ Mix

Characteristics

Culture

Known as Treasure Flower, Gazania ‘Kiss’ Mix performs faithfully and beautifully! Gazania Treasure Flowers boast 3 inch blooms in a mix of intense, bold colors. The plants are compact, 10 inches high and they spread 10 inches as well. Flowers are held above the basal foliage, forming a bright carpet of color when planted in large masses.  Drought tolerant Gazania plants are considered annuals in the cool climates, but in warmer climates like the southern Texas and parts of California, they’re short-lived perennials. Gazania care includes deadheading the spent flowers to promote the growth of more blooms. Also, Gazania plants benefit from an application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every other week during the growing season or mix in a slow-release fertilizer at the time of transplanting or preparing the seedbed.
