Notes

'New Day Red Stripe' treasure flower (Gazania rigens 'New Day Red Stripe') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It handles drought and salt well. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms in spring and summer.

Pairs well with Soleado zinnia, Narrow-leaf chalksticks, and Orange King zinnia.
