Planting & Growing

Gazania Fiesta Red is a low-growing perennial groundcover that stays under 1 foot tall and spreads to about 12 inches. It features green foliage and bright orange, daisy-like flowers with a distinctive rust-colored stripe on each ray. Blooms appear from April through September, adding long-lasting color to the landscape.

This plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, especially in coastal regions where it becomes drought-tolerant once established.
