An early and beautifully compact Gazania, ‘Daybreak Bright Orange’ has flowers that are an intense burnt orange with a small brown ring around the bronze coloured heart. It flowers abundantly until the first frosts.
Garden care:
Pot up seedlings and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
