It comes from South Africa and feels at home in the Israeli heat - drought-resistant, loves the sun, and requires almost no care. The perfect solution for a sunny garden or balcony!

Professional tip
The most common mistake with gazanias? Overwatering! Gazanias come from dry areas and prefer dry soil. Too much water = root rot = death. Water only when the soil is completely dry, and make sure it has excellent drainage. Another tip: remove wilted flowers to encourage more blooms - although it will bloom without it!
