Description

This lovely gazania was photographed in a New York City community garden.

Per Wikipedia: Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa.

They produce large, daisy-like composite flowerheads in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, over a long period in summer. They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover.

The genus occurs from low-altitude sands to alpine meadows in South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Angola. Additionally, species are naturalised in Australia, New Zealand, the Mediterranean, and California.

Gazania species are grown for the brilliant colour of their flowerheads which appear in the late spring and are often in bloom throughout the summer into autumn. They prefer a sunny position and are tolerant of dryness and poor soils.
