Frosty Kiss™ Yellow Gazania

Frosty Kiss™ Yellow is a mounding Gazania rigens selected for bright yellow flowers and silvery foliage. Syngenta lists an 8–10 inch height and spread, flowering from mid-spring into summer, and full-sun exposure. The foliage remains ornamental when flowers close, giving this compact annual interest between bloom periods. ## Garden Use Plant it in a sunny border or use it in a container with other heat-loving annuals. The yellow flowers provide a clear seasonal accent, while the silver leaves add contrast around the flower heads. Syngenta describes Frosty Kiss as an earlier and more uniform flowering companion to its Kiss series. ## Growing Conditions Choose a warm, sunny position and well-drained soil ([North Carolina Extension notes](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gazania-rigens/common-name/gazania/) for Gazania rigens). Syngenta lists this variety as a heat lover and recommends it for hot gardens; avoid persistently wet soil. Water during establishment and prolonged dry spells, especially in pots, while allowing excess water to drain freely. The supplier lists hardiness zone 11a; in colder climates, treat it as a warm-season annual. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower heads to keep the mound orderly and make room for new blooms. Check container moisture during hot spells, since small pots dry quickly.
