detailed seed-starting info below

Fancy daisies native to southern Africa. A rabbit favorite in our garden, so in Pennsylvania we waited to plant seedlings out until they were well established and the bunnies had plenty of other food to eat. Here in Houston, I haven't seen bunnies yet, so presumably the gazanias are safe. Both of the flower colors above appeared in a single pot of 'Daybreak Mix' purchased at a local nursery.

Gazania
Purchased this as 'Big Kiss White Flame' – a double-flowered hybrid. I think I like the single-flowered one a little better

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: waterfall pondside, back fence border
