Tough, low-growing, spreading plants make a great ground cover!

Tough, drought-tolerant plants needing only lots of sun and light, well-drained soil Low-growing, spreading habit 8 inches tall and 10 inches wide "Weathermen" flowers--they close on overcast days! 7 radiant colors: Red Stripe, Garden Sun, Bright Yellow Improved, Bright Orange, Bronze, White, and Pink.
You just can't improve upon these huge blooms, glowing with bright color, that completely cover the small plants from early summer to frost. What makes this Gazania series so special is its combination of very big flowers, early and long bloom season, and ultra-tolerant low, spreading plants. Here's what you can expect to get with Daybreak:
Hardy in zones 8-10, Daybreak is a fabulous long-season annual elsewhere. Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, or sow them direct as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. They make a great permanent ground cover in areas where they are perennial -- particularly southern California and the deep South! Pkt is 25 seeds.

Very versatile "must have" for Zone 9a
While promoted as heat loving, here in Florida the blooms continue and grow richer in color through the cool season and can even take a light frost or freeze. About the time the original plant tires out (after about 2 years), a new "volunteer" emerges from a dropped seed. It is nonstop color, season after season after season. Also, it will bloom in part shade, but will not maintain as compact of habit. LOVE this plant!!!
