Planting & Care Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation & Sowing:
   • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed.
   • Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining, seed-starting mix and press gently into the soil. Do not cover the seeds.
   • Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days.
2. Transplanting & Growth:
   • Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost and when they are large enough to handle.
   • Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for spreading growth.
   • Gazanias require full sun to flower well, so plant them in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
3. Maintenance:
   • Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings once the plant is established.
   • Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season, as excessive nutrients can reduce flowering.
   • Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.

Winter Care:

• In colder climates, treat Gazanias as annuals since they are frost-sensitive.
• In warmer climates, Gazanias may overwinter with some protection from extreme cold.

Ideal For:

• Full sun gardens: Perfect for areas that get lots of sunlight throughout the day.
• Dry or low-water gardens: Gazanias are drought-tolerant once established, making them ideal for xeriscaping.
