Treasure Flower 25 Seeds Gazania rigens

Gazania rigens, commonly known as treasure flower, is a low-growing, spreading perennial often cultivated as an annual in cooler climates, prized for its vivid, daisy-like blooms and drought tolerance. Typically forming a dense mat about 6 to 12 inches tall, it can spread 12 to 24 inches wide, making it an excellent groundcover or edging plant in sunny landscapes. The narrow, lance-shaped leaves usually measure 4 to 8 inches long and about ½ to 1 inch wide, often dark green above with a silvery or whitish underside. Flower stalks rise slightly above the foliage, reaching 8 to 14 inches in height, each bearing a single bloom approximately 3 to 5 inches across. The flowers open fully in bright sunlight and close at night or on cloudy days, displaying vibrant shades of orange, yellow, pink, red, or bronze, often with contrasting rings or dark centers. Thriving in full sun, Gazania rigens performs best in well-drained soil and tolerates poor, sandy conditions, coastal exposure, heat, and drought, making it a resilient ornamental choice for borders, rock gardens, and containers.
