Colorado Gold Gazania

Colorado Gold gazania is a winter hardy, low growing perennial flower. It has thin, strappy leaves that form a deep green, glossy mound.

Bright, shiny yellow flowers start to appear in early summer and continue throughout the growing season. Peak bloom is in May. The flowers open early in the morning, closing at the end of the day or during inclement weather.

It self-seeds easily, so it can fill in an area over time. Brings bright yellow flowers to a landscape with minimal maintenance.

See in a landscape

Rather than watering turfgrass in the parkway, this homeowner created more visual interest by including low water shrubs and perennials with wood mulch. A stepping stone pathway surrounded by crushed gravel (breeze) defines the plant beds, provides a place to walk, and reduces the landscape’s water need.
