New Day Bronze Shades
Gazania Seeds
New Day Bronze Shades gazania displays showy large red to bronze flowers. The 8-10 in. tall plants are more compact and robust, and the flowers are larger than most gazanias. They are top performers in containers or the landscape. New Day Bronze Shades gazania is an outstanding edging or ground cover plant that is easy to grow, heat and drought tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant. Usually grown as a summer annual, plants are perennial in zones 9 and 10.
Growing New Day Bronze Shades Gazania Seeds
Plant Gazania Seeds: Sow gazania seed in flats, press into soil and barely cover. Needs darkness to germinate. Cover flats with newspaper and keep out of direct sun. Remove newspaper cover and provide direct light as soon as the first seeds begin to sprout. Kept at 70°F., germination is in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 12 in. apart.
Grow Gazania: Full sun. Heat and drought tolerant, average water produces heaviest bloom. Plants are disease resistant, near insect-proof and rabbit and deer resistant. Remove old flowers to promote further bloom. If plants appear tired or spindly, cut back by half to increase vigor and bloom. Flowers attract butterflies, close at night. Where gazanias are perennial, for best appearance and optimal vigor shear plants back to 3 in. in late winter.
