Plant Profile

Gazania rigens var. uniflora (one-flowered treasure flower)

Treasure flower is a low growing evergreen ground cover. The gray leaves and yellow flowers give nice contrast. The flowers are closing at night or in cloudy days. The plant can grow well in hot and arid regions but prefers cooler summer. Remove dry flowers to encourage more new to come.
