Colorado Gold Gazania
Gazania linearis 'Colorado Gold'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Low-growing perennial with linear leaves growing from a basal rosette. Leaves are dark green on top and silvery-gray underneath. Bright yellow daisy-like flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Mass plantings can create a groundcover. May be invasive if allowed to spread into the lawn.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
