Big Kiss™ White Flame Gazania

Big Kiss™ White Flame is a white Gazania rigens selection with flame-marked flower heads. Syngenta lists this American-market form as mounding, full-sun, and 10–12 inches tall and wide, with bloom from mid-spring through summer; its flowers reach about 4.5 inches across and the plants are full and bushy. [Syngenta’s product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70045993) gives the variety details. ## Form and flowering Gazania flower heads open in bright daylight and close at night. The species profile describes long-lasting blooms and notes that very hot southern summers can pause flowering. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gazania-rigens/) provides the species growing profile. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun and sandy-to-average, well-drained soil. Let the soil dry between waterings. Gazania tolerates drought once established, while overwatering can contribute to root rot. ## Garden use Use this compact selection in patio containers, borders, and mass plantings. It also works in hanging baskets and sunny pollinator gardens; Gazania attracts bees and butterflies. ## Maintenance Deadhead spent flower heads to encourage continued bloom. Avoid overwatering, and bring containers into shelter before frost if you plan to keep them; extension guidance notes that containers can be overwintered indoors.
