Gazania




One of my favorite annuals is Gazania and now I have a perennial Gazania. I did get it last year and it came back this year and now I cannot find any more at the nursery. It is supposed to self sow. We'll see. The perennial one is called G. linearis 'Colorado Gold'and is winter hardy in much of the cold-winter West. It gets about 4" high but with a spread of about 15in. and is a mounding type plant. It has strap-shaped leaves, different than the annuals foliage.
While the perennial is yellow the annual can be many different colors, as shown, and even striped.

Catching up on your pictures today MB! They are all so lovely! I miss my camera. All is well here, just hadn't realized how long it had been since I checked in! DH was off most of last week, so I don't visit the computer as much! LOL!
