Origin and Description:

Gazania, an herbaceous plant from the Asteraceae family, showcases versatile beauty as an annual or perennial. The variety "Gazania Rigens" reaches about 25 cm in height and spreads its splendor up to 70 cm wide. Its small, vibrant flowers in shades of yellow, orange, or cream stand out almost flush with its distinctive gray foliage.

Care and Resilience:

This plant is resilient, enduring brief periods of frost and excelling in warm climates and high temperatures. It's an excellent choice for coastal areas, even near the seaside, thanks to its tolerance for salinity. Gazania doesn't demand nutrient-rich soils but requires well-draining soil to thrive.

Watering and Pruning:

To prolong its flowering, it's recommended to remove withered flowers. This plant adjusts to light conditions, closing its flowers when there's no sun. After winter, trimming helps maintain its shape and vitality, especially in the case of the Gazania Rigens variety. However, it's crucial to avoid overwatering and waterlogged soil, as it can adversely affect its health.

Propagation:

During summer and autumn, it's possible to take cuttings to propagate this plant. Both groups, although used as ground cover, show a preference for Gazania Rigens in this role.

Gazania, with its resilience and dazzling beauty, is an exceptional choice for those seeking an adaptable, low-maintenance plant to add color and vitality to their garden.
