Gazania Kiss Rose seeds germinate fast and easy and also known as Treasure Flower, this particular Gazania Rigens forms low to the ground mounds of dark-green foliage and blooms with highly attractive, large, rose-pink, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers. Most often, Gazania is grown as a garden annual, but in warmer climates like Texas of California Treasure Flower performs as a tender perennial. Blooming all season long Gazania attracts butterflies and bees.

If the plant is intended to be grown as an annual, Gazania Rigens seeds should be started indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplanted outdoors after last frost.
