Description
Gazania x hybrida 'New Day Pink Shades', commonly known as Treasure Flower, is a vibrant addition to Perth gardens. This evergreen perennial forms a compact mound, reaching 15–20 cm in height and spreading 20–25 cm wide. It boasts large, daisy-like blooms in shades of pink with a yellow centre, providing a striking contrast against its dark green foliage. The flowers open in full sun and close at night or during overcast conditions, adding dynamic interest to garden beds, borders, and containers.
Thriving in Perth's sunny climate, 'New Day Pink Shades' prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Plant in full sun to ensure prolific flowering. Regular deadheading of spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering from late spring through early summer (Kambarang to Birak) and may extend into autumn (Djeran). While it can tolerate dry periods, providing occasional deep watering during extended droughts will promote optimal growth and flowering. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for gardeners seeking vibrant colour with minimal care.
