Gazania Seeds (Open Pollinated)

About -

Illuminate your garden with Richgrow Seeds Gazania Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Gazania rigens), ideal for home gardeners seeking striking, sun-loving blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Treasure Flower or African Daisy, this variety produces large, daisy-like flowers, measuring 5–10 cm across, in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, or white with intricate dark-ringed centers, perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, or ground cover, blooming from 8–12 weeks after sowing through spring to summer. These nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies and close up at night or in cloudy weather, adding dynamic appeal. The low-growing, clumping plants, reaching 15–30 cm tall and 30–45 cm wide, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in warm, dry climates with excellent drought tolerance, ideal for coastal or arid regions. Optimal sowing occurs in spring (March–May) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.2–0.5 cm depth in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% sand, 20% compost, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 20–30 cm apart in rows 30 cm wide; press seeds lightly into soil, as they need light to achieve 85% germination within 10–20 days at 18–24°C. Keep soil moderately moist during germination with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 3–4 days), then reduce to minimal once established; deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and fertilize sparingly with organic compost every 4–6 weeks to avoid excessive foliage; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or whiteflies. Trim faded flowers to maintain tidiness, with excellent durability for garden displays. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Deadhead regularly for prolonged blooms; thrives in poor soils with minimal water.
