Description / New Day® Mix Hybrid Gazania Seeds
Few cut flowers are as versatile as this lovely gazania, with large 3-inch blooms atop compact, nicely branched plants. Whether you grow New Day® a container with airy grasses and trailing plants, along the edge of the sunny border, or as groundcover for dry soil, it will delight you with a long season of magnificent color.
New Day® is actually a tender perennial, hardy in zones 9 and 10, but it's grown as an annual nearly everywhere. Easy to start from seed, it springs right up and takes off, the gray-green foliage offering a handsome, subdued background for those super-bright blooms. In this mix you get 6 of the boldest and best New Day® colors: yellow improved, white, clear orange, red shades, pink shades, and rose stripe.
This plant is only 8 to 10 inches high and 6 to 8 inches wide, so when it's covered it flowers, all you see is blooms. And so eye-catching they aredaisy-shaped, saturated with rich color, and long-lasting in garden or vase. They make a great choice for mixed containers with silver-leaved foliage plants or accent plantings with zinnias, marigolds, cosmos, and other easy-grow annuals. And they're so compact, you can tuck them into any sunny, well-drained spot that needs a pop of bright color. Have fun with this low-maintenance delight.
