| A warm new look for the renowned Daybreak series! Petticoat Mix is a cheery blend of stripes and solids, in shades of rose and pink (with white for contrast). Winner of many awards, the Daybreak series probably deserves even more recognition than it's already received. You just can't improve upon these huge blooms, glowing with bright color, that completely cover the small plants from early summer to frost. What makes this Gazania series so special is its combination of very big flowers, early and long bloom season, and ultra-tolerant low, spreading plants. Here's what you can expect to get with Daybreak: 3- to 4-inch blooms with a wide central discBlooms in just 12 weeks from seed--that's 1 to 3 weeks earlier than most other Gazanias!Tough, drought-tolerant plants needing only lots of sun and light, well-drained soilLow-growing, spreading habit 8 inches tall and 10 inches wide"Weathermen" flowers -- they close on overcast days!Hardy in zones 8-10, Daybreak is a fabulous long-season annual elsewhere. Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, or sow them direct as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. They make a great permanent ground cover in areas where they are perennial -- particularly southern California and the deep South! Pkt is 25 seeds. |
