How to Plant Gazania from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
  • Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed.

Seed Preparation

  • Gazania seeds do not require stratification.
  • Soaking seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting may help improve germination.

Sowing Seeds

Direct: Prepare the soil by loosening and removing debris. Scatter seeds evenly and press them lightly into the soil. Keep the area moist until germination occurs. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 12 inches apart.

Indoor: Use a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Sow seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil (do not bury them deeply). Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Seeds will germinate in 10-21 days. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots.

Transplanting Outdoors

  1. Harden off seedlings one week before transplanting.
  2. Choose a sunny, well-drained location.
  3. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  4. Water thoroughly after planting.

Bonus: Their bright, daisy-like flowers close up at night, adding a unique touch to your garden!

Getting to know your Gazania

Gazanias are versatile plants that grow as low-spreading perennials in warm climates, though they're commonly grown as annuals in cooler areas. These compact plants reach heights of 6-12 inches and spread 12-18 inches wide, creating a dense mat of deep green or silver-gray foliage with narrow, often-lobed leaves that add distinctive charm. Their large, daisy-like blooms feature bright petals with striking dark centers, appearing in a spectrum of colors including yellow, orange, red, pink, white, and bi-color combinations. The flowers open in full sunlight and close at night or during cloudy weather, blooming continuously from late spring through fall. These garden favorites serve as valuable nectar sources, attracting and supporting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout their long blooming season.
