TANAGER® gazania
Gazania krebsiana

        Fluorescent orange daisies from earliest spring to late autumn create dazzling specimens ideal for mass displays.  Glossy, dark green leaves develop a deep purple tinge in the winter months.  A perfect plant for rock gardens, the front of a bed or border, in planters, massing or drifts, or in shortgrass meadows. Reseeds moderately in zone 5 and is hardy in protected microclimates. Perennial.  Xeriscape.
Tips from the pros: Can be marginally hardy.  Plant in spring so roots can get fully established by fall. Good drainage essential - does not like soggy winter conditions.
