Product Information
Full details
The Carbeth Plants Gazania Tiger Mix is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add vibrant, low-maintenance color to sunny outdoor spaces. These plants are perfect for beginners and experienced gardeners alike who want eye-catching, daisy-like striped blooms in containers, hanging baskets, or garden borders. While they offer exceptional heat and drought tolerance once established, they strictly require full sun to open their blooms and will not perform well in heavily shaded or damp, waterlogged soil conditions.

FAQs
Are these plants perennial?
Gazanias are often grown as annuals in the UK because they are not frost-hardy and will struggle to survive a typical winter outdoors.
How often should I water my Gazanias?
Once established, they are drought-tolerant. Only water when the top inch of soil is dry, as they dislike sitting in wet soil.
Can I plant these directly into the ground?
Yes, they make excellent border plants, provided the soil is well-draining and receives plenty of sunshine.
Are the decorative pots included?
No, the plants are supplied as plugs; decorative pots shown in promotional images are for illustration purposes only.
Do I need to feed them?
A general-purpose liquid fertilizer applied once every two weeks during the mid-summer peak can help encourage a longer blooming season.
Troubleshooting
Flowers remain closed on sunny days
Ensure the plant is receiving direct, unobstructed sunlight; Gazanias need full sun to open their petals.
Leaves turning yellow or rotting
This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the soil is well-draining and reduce the frequency of watering.
Weak or leggy growth
The plants are likely not receiving enough light. Move them to a position with more direct sun exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your plants arrive, remove them from the packaging immediately and ensure they are lightly watered. If you cannot plant them outdoors right away, place them in a bright, frost-free location such as a windowsill or greenhouse. Use a well-draining potting compost for containers; mixing in a little grit can improve drainage if your soil is heavy clay. For ongoing care, remove spent flower heads to encourage new buds to form. Water sparingly; wait until the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch before watering again. During the late autumn, these plants should be moved to a sheltered area if you wish to overwinter them, as they are not hardy against freezing temperatures.
