New Day® Tiger Mixture Gazania

**New Day® Tiger Mixture** is a compact New Day® gazania with a long flowering display in late spring and summer. PanAmerican Seed lists a mix of Red Stripe and Rose Stripe blooms and an 8–10 inch mature height with a 6–8 inch spread, making the mounded plants useful for sunny containers, baskets, edging, and low groundcover. The breeder describes the series as compact and sturdy, with flowers held on short stems ([PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/028106282008521/gazania-new-day-tiger-mixture/)). ## Placement and care Grow in full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil ([RHS](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/86144/gazania-rigens/details)). Flowers open in bright light and may close in cloudy weather. Allow the soil to dry between waterings ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gazania-rigens/common-name/gazania/)); water during prolonged dry spells while plants establish. PanAmerican Seed describes the New Day® series as drought tolerant, but good drainage remains important. ## Seasonal interest Use these plants at the front of sunny borders, in mass plantings, or in patio containers where the flowers can be seen in bright weather. The breeder lists late-spring and summer flowering for this selection. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower heads to encourage continued blooming and keep the planting tidy. Check container soil more often than in-ground soil, and avoid leaving roots in standing water. In cold-winter climates, grow gazania as seasonal bedding or protect containers in a bright, frost-free place.
