Gazania Daybreak Mix


Gazania rigens Daybreak Mix
Gazania Daybreak Mix: 3- to 4-inch single blooms have a daisy form with a huge yellow center and tightly-packed, overlapping petals. The colors in this mix are Red Stripe, which has bright yellow petals with a deep red brushstroke; Garden Sun, a yellow-and-orange bicolor; Bright Yellow Improved, with clear yellow blooms; Bright Orange; Bronze; White; and Pink, a powder-pink bloom with a deeper pink brushstroke down the center of each petal. Foliage is long, sword-shaped, and hunter green.
Tough, low-growing, spreading plants make a great ground cover!

 

7 Rich Colors on Huge, Early-Blooming, Abundant Gazanias!
Mix of the award-winning Daybreak series, containing Red Stripe, Garden Sun, Bronze, Bright Yellow Improved, Bright Orange, Pink, and White.

Winner of many awards, the Daybreak series probably deserves even more recognition than it's already received.

You just can't improve upon these huge blooms, glowing with bright color, that completely cover the small plants from early summer to frost. What makes this Gazania series so special is its combination of very big flowers, early and long bloom season, and ultra-tolerant low, spreading plants. Here's what you can expect to get with Daybreak:

  • 3- to 4-inch blooms with a wide central disc
  • Blooms in just 12 weeks from seed--that's 1 to 3 weeks earlier than most other Gazanias!
  • Tough, drought-tolerant plants needing only lots of sun and light, well-drained soil
  • Low-growing, spreading habit 8 inches tall and 10 inches wide
  • "Weathermen" flowers--they close on overcast days!
  • 7 radiant colors: Red Stripe, Garden Sun, Bright Yellow Improved, Bright Orange, Bronze, White, and Pink.

    Hardy in zones 8-10, Daybreak is a fabulous long-season annual elsewhere. Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, or sow them direct as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. They make a great permanent ground cover in areas where they are perennial -- particularly southern California and the deep South!
