When to sow Gazania Seeds 

Gazania seeds are best sown indoors from February to April. Starting seeds undercover provides the warmth needed for successful germination and allows young plants to establish before being planted outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.  

How to grow Gazanias from seed 

Sow gazania seeds on the surface of moist seed compost and lightly cover with compost or vermiculite. Keep the seeds warm and maintain consistent moisture while they germinate. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, pot them on individually and grow them in a bright, frost-free location. Harden off plants before planting outdoors in late spring or early summer. Gazanias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.  

How long does it take for Gazanias to flower? 

Gazanias typically flower from early summer through to autumn, producing a long-lasting display of colourful blooms. Regular deadheading will encourage plants to continue flowering for as long as possible throughout the season.  

Why grow Gazanias from seed? 

Growing gazanias from seed is an affordable way to fill borders, containers and patio displays with vibrant colour. Their striking daisy-like flowers are available in shades of yellow, orange, bronze, pink, red and white. Gazanias are also valued for their drought tolerance once established, making them ideal for hot, sunny areas of the garden.  

Where can you grow Gazanias? 

Gazanias are ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens, rockeries, coastal gardens, raised beds and containers. They perform best in a sheltered position with freely draining soil and plenty of sunshine. Their flowers open in bright sunlight and close during dull or cloudy weather, creating a dynamic display throughout the growing season.  

Which Gazania variety should I choose? 

The best gazania variety depends on the space available and the colour scheme you wish to create. Compact varieties are excellent for containers, window boxes and edging paths, while spreading types provide colourful ground cover in borders and gravel gardens. Available in a wide range of bright colours and striking bicolours, gazanias are perfect for creating bold summer displays.
