Gazania is a low-growing perennial herbaceous plant with a semi-trailing or dense clumping habit. Its leaves are lanceolate, with a glossy green upper surface and silvery or greyish underside, giving them a distinctive appearance. The flowers are showy heads in shades like yellow, orange, white, red, and pink, often with a darker central ring or contrasting ‘eye’. They bloom profusely in spring and summer, and sometimes into autumn, opening only under direct sunlight (closing at night or on cloudy days).<\/p>\n
