An early and beautifully compact Gazania, ‘Daybreak Bright Orange’ has flowers that are an intense burnt orange with a small brown ring around the bronze coloured heart. It flowers abundantly until the first frosts.
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed or patio pot. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feed with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer.
