Gazania Garden Leader Orange Gazania Rigens is a very popular and widely grown ornamental garden plant that is native to South Africa. Gazania Garden Leader Orange seeds do not need any special treatment prior sowing. Also known by its common name Treasure Flower, Gazania Rigens is a trailing, compact growing perennial plant that is mostly grown as an annual all over the world. Featuring silvery-white foliage with highly variable in shape leaves, Gazania Garden Orange blooms prolifically all season long, and its large and showy, daisy-like orange flowers are attractive to butterflies and bees.
Gazania Garden Leader Orange is often grown as a flowering ground cover, and Treasure Flower is an ideal bedding and border plant that is also extensively planted in hanging baskets for its trailing habit, along walkways, xeriscape gardens, window baskets, rock gardens, and containers. If Gazania Rigens seeds are started indoors in winter 6-8 weeks before last frost, Gazania plant can be established fast in a garden.
