New Day Red Shades
Gazania Seeds
New Day Red Shades gazania is covered in extra large flowers in showy red tones from late spring until frost. The 8-10 in. tall plants are compact and sturdy, and are top performers in containers or the landscape. New Day Red Shades gazania is heat and drought tolerant, and deer and rabbit resistant. Use the easy-to-grow plants to edge paths, or mass to create a gorgeous carpet of color. Perennial in zones 9 and 10, it is usually grown as a summer annual.
Growing New Day Red Shades Gazania Seeds
Plant Gazania Seeds: Sow gazania seed in flats, press into soil and barely cover. Needs darkness to germinate. Cover flats with newspaper and keep out of direct sun. Remove newspaper cover and provide direct light as soon as the first seeds begin to sprout. Kept at 70°F., germination is in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 12 in. apart.
Grow Gazania: Full sun. Heat and drought tolerant, average water produces heaviest bloom. Plants are disease resistant, near insect-proof and rabbit and deer resistant. Remove old flowers to promote further bloom. If plants appear tired or spindly, cut back by half to increase vigor and bloom. Flowers attract butterflies, close at night. Where gazanias are perennial, for best appearance and optimal vigor shear plants back to 3 in. in late winter.
