Description
Gazania Zany F1 Yellow is a horticultural hybrid derived from this Mediterranean species, renowned for its spectacular flowering and very compact habit. This selection stands out with its superb, intense yellow inflorescences, enhanced by a chocolate brown ring near the heart, which stand out magnificently against dense, dark green and glossy foliage. With rapid growth, young plants from seed sown under heated shelter at the end of winter can begin their flowering as early as May and maintain it without interruption until autumn. A small plant (approximately 20 cm in height), it quickly forms a spreading cushion that adapts equally well to low borders, rockeries or cultivation in planters. Perfectly suited to very sunny exposures, it tolerates periods of drought and heat without difficulty, making it an excellent option for Mediterranean gardens or south-facing balconies. Outside the mildest areas, it should be grown as an annual, but its decorative impact remains exceptional throughout the beautiful season.
Native to South Africa, Gazania rigens belongs to the vast Asteraceae family, which includes both ornamental species, such as Centaurea or Santolina, as well as food or aromatic plants (cardoons, salsify, Chamomile…). Among the 18 botanical species of the genus, G. rigens is the most commonly cultivated. It is also known by several synonyms such as G. splendens, Gorteria rigens or Othonna rigens. Like many plants from this region of the globe, it has evolved to resist drought and only opens its flowers in full light.
The Zany F1 series is the result of a breeding programme aimed at maximising floriferousness, growth regularity and compactness. The Zany F1 Yellow variety stands out with its regular 7 cm diameter heads, composed of vivid yellow peripheral ligulate flowers, marked at the base by a darker zone forming a sort of circle around the central disc. This disc is composed of very tight, small tubular flowers, characteristic of Asteraceae, formerly called "Composites" due to their complex floral structure.
Spring sowings, carried out with pelleted seeds (easier to handle and germinate), allow for robust, well-branched clumps that quickly cover the space. To prolong and intensify flowering, it is advisable to remove faded flowers and feed regularly during the season with a potassium-rich fertiliser.
Whether in planters, window boxes or in open ground, this variety harmonises beautifully with other summer-flowering annuals, such as Impatiens, Bidens or Lobelias, to create dazzling floral displays. In southern gardens, near the coast spared by heavy frosts, it pairs ideally with similar perennials like Osteospermum, another floriferous beauty also native to South Africa. Aptenia cordifolia, a crassulescent ground cover with carmine pink flowers, will also be a good companion, and to add height to your display, choose reliable Echium candicans, or Pride of Madeira, with its magnificent blue spikes. Well adapted to coastal conditions, your Gazania will also thrive in sandy, well-drained soils, tolerating sea spray, wind and heat without difficulty.

Planting and care
Sow the seeds of Gazania Zany F1 Yellow, after soaking for a few hours, under glass or indoors, from February to April. Bury them under a 3 mm mixture of compost and sand. Keep them in a warm place, ideally at a temperature between 18 and 25°C. Keep the compost slightly moist without excess. You will need to wait 14 to 30 days to see the young seedlings appear. When they are large enough to handle, transplant them into pots where you can acclimatise them for about ten days. After which, you can plant them out in the open ground when the last frosts are no longer a concern. Take care to space each young plant 20 to 30 cm apart.
Growing: in full sun, in ordinary but well-drained soil, possibly lightened with gravel, sand and compost. Gazanias don't like stagnant moisture, so avoid leaving saucers filled with water under the pots. A special flowering plant fertiliser will be appreciated every 4 to 6 weeks to support flowering. The plant is perennial in mild Mediterranean conditions, particularly on the coast. Choose a permanent location when planting, and it will form increasingly wide clumps over the years.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
