  • Notes

Gazania X rigens leucolaena is a clumping or spreading plant grown for colorful daisies over a long bloom season. It tolerates seacoast conditions. It grows well in most soil conditions and needs only occasional water once established (2-3 times per month).
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
