Gazania Big Kiss White Flame F1 Seeds - Treasure flower

Gazania 'Big Kiss White Flame' F1 is a stunning variety that displays large, striped blooms in varying shades of white and purplish pink. Exceptionally long-lasting, they provide interest from May to October.

Gazania, commonly known as Treasure Flower, belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to tropical Africa. The standard variety is golden yellow with an orange central disc, punctuated with black and brown. Although a perennial in its natural habitat, it is generally treated as an annual in colder climates. Fairly low-growing, it reaches a height of 30 cm at most. The basal leaves are coarse, medium green with a silvery grey underside. They form large clumps, topped with multiple stems bearing a solitary capitulum or flower head. 'Big Kiss White Flame' F1 is a hybrid cultivar belonging to the popular “Kiss” series, bred for its exceptionally large blooms. Each 12 cm flower head features a double row of external ray flowers, striped with purplish-pink and creamy white with slight anise green hues. The velvety golden yellow central disc is covered with fluted disc flowers.

Treasure flowers are perfect for adding splashes of colour to borders and summer bedding schemes. They are suitable for edging, along garden paths or slopes, and look great in pots and containers in a veranda or on the patio. They are drought tolerant, and grow in all soils with a preference for sandy, perfectly drained soils. Make sure to provide them with full sun or else the flowers won't open.
