The Gazania plant, often called the Treasure Flower, is a beautiful, low-growing herbaceous plant. It is a perennial in warm climates but is commonly grown as an annual. Gazanias form a dense, mounding habit of dark green or silvery-green leaves, making them an excellent choice for groundcover and borders. The plant is a favorite of gardeners for its sun-loving and low-maintenance nature.
The plant’s main feature is its brilliant, daisy-like flowers. A unique characteristic is that these blossoms open fully in the sun and close at night or on cloudy days. They come in an extensive range of vibrant colors, including shades of orange, yellow, red, and pink. Many varieties have a contrasting ring of color at the base of their petals, adding to their striking visual appeal.
Gazania plants thrive in hot, dry conditions and require full sun. They are exceptionally drought-tolerant once established. Their low-maintenance needs and ability to withstand heat and poor soil make them an ideal choice for rock gardens, along pathways, or in containers where other plants might struggle.
