Sterling Silver™ Burgundy Stripe - Gazania

Sterling Silver™ Burgundy Stripe is a compact gazania with double white flowers marked by burgundy and clean silver foliage. The breeder’s culture sheet gives the Sterling Silver™ series a garden height of 4–6 inches and width of 15–18 inches; Ball Seed rates this exact color selection for USDA zones 5a–9b. [Green Fuse Botanicals](https://green-fuse.com/new/gazania-sterling-silver/) lists Burgundy Stripe within the series. ## Garden Use The low, spreading form works along a sunny border, in a rock garden, or as a small groundcover where its silver leaves can contrast with darker foliage. Michigan State University Extension describes this selection’s white flowers with burgundy accents and notes that its flowers remain open in cloudy conditions. [Ball Seed](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=028110008012365&env=P) also highlights the double blooms, compact growth, silver leaves, and border use. ## Growing Conditions Choose a sunny site with soil that drains well. General gazania guidance from [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gazania-rigens/common-name/gazania/) recommends full sun, free-draining soil, and allowing the soil to dry between waterings. The breeder lists the Sterling Silver™ series as a spring and summer production crop for landscape and perennial-garden use in zones 5–10; the more specific Ball Seed listing for Burgundy Stripe gives zones 5a–9b. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to help encourage continued flowering, following [UF/IFAS guidance for gazanias](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/FP225).
