terracotta gazania yellow
Description
Gazania krebsiana, commonly known as the treasure flower or African daisy, is a perennial flowering plant, with a variety adapted to high-altitude environments. This variety is recognizable for its daisy-like flowers, that open in the sunshine and close at night or on cloudy days. It typically has vibrant yellow petals and dark centers. This high-altitude variant is adapted to colder temperatures and stronger sunlight than its lower altitude counterparts. It has narrow, lance-shaped leaves and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. These plants are relatively low maintenance and make a good choice for rock gardens, borders, and containers. Deadheading is a good idea for this plant.
