Description
Mr Fothergill’s Gazania Sunshine Mix Seeds, Drought tolerant, for pots and beds. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season. Loves sun and tolerates those difficult hot, dry.
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 12-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm apart, when frosts are over. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season.
