Design with this plant

Overview

The Trailing Gazania (Gazania rigens 'Leucolaena') is a perennial groundcover that thrives in sunny locations. It showcases vibrant daisy-like flowers, typically in warm hues, and flourishes in well-drained soils. With a spread of up to 2 feet and a modest height of 6-10 inches, it's ideal for adding a splash of color to rock gardens, slopes, or border fronts. Drought-tolerant once established, it's a low-maintenance choice for water-wise landscapes.
