Gazania

Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa. They are known for their daisy-like flowers that come in various colors, including yellow, orange, and red. Gazania plants typically grow 6 to 12 inches tall and prefer full sun for optimal growth. They are drought-tolerant and can thrive in sandy to well-drained soils, although they require less water than most annuals or perennials. Gazania flowers close at night and may not fully open on cloudy days, and they are often used as ground cover in gardens due to their low maintenance and resilience in harsh conditions.
