Gazania Christopher Lloyd | 9cm Pot

A pink-purple, daisy-like flowering summer perennial with a yellow centre. Position: full sun Soil: moist but well–drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to August Hardiness: half hardy (will need winter protection) Named after ‘Christopher Lloyd’, a charismatic gardener who loved experimenting with vibrant colour combinations in his garden at Great Dixter. This Gazania is certainly that – a pinkish-purple, daisy like flower and golden yellow centre with shiny green lanceolate leaves. Best suited to punchy displays in pots and containers. Garden care: Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feed with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer.
