Summertime silver-leaf Gazania

Gazania is a genus of plants native to South Africa. They do well here in Australia due to similar latitudes and weather.

 

Gazania tomentosa is a very hardy, sun-loving ground cover with attractive silvery grey-green foliage that forms a thickly spreading mat.

 

Held above on short, stiff stalks are these wonderfully bright and sunny yellow flowers.

 

A popular plant due to their drought tolerance and ability to withstand difficult environments like coastal settings and poor soils.

 

Flower diameter 6 cm.
