Gazania 'Christopher Lloyd'
treasure flower
This striking daisy-like perennial delivers pinkish-purple petals that frame a glowing golden yellow centre – a bold combination that perfectly captures the adventurous spirit of its namesake.
Gazania 'Christopher Lloyd' pays homage to the legendary gardener who revolutionised planting design with his fearless colour experiments at Great Dixter.
The vibrant blooms rise above a neat rosette of glossy, lance-shaped foliage that maintains its handsome appearance even when not in flower. Sun-loving and remarkably drought-tolerant, this resilient beauty opens fully on bright days, creating a dazzling display that commands attention in containers and sunny borders.
Perfect for coastal gardens or gravel plantings, this Gazania brings Mediterranean flair and unfading colour to summer displays, delivering the kind of head-turning impact that Christopher Lloyd himself would have celebrated.

How to care for Gazania Christopher Lloyd:
Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.
Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.
To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
