African Daisies

Gazania rigens is a low-growing, spreading perennial often treated as an annual in cooler climates. It features lance-shaped, blue-grey to silvery-green foliage that forms dense tufts or mats. The plant is celebrated for its large, daisy-like flowers in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, which uniquely close at night and on cloudy days. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, sandy soils, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant and ideal for rock gardens, borders, or coastal landscapes.
