Gazania, commonly known as Treasure Flower, belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to tropical Africa. The standard variety is golden yellow with an orange central disc, punctuated with black and brown. Although a perennial in its natural habitat, it is generally treated as an annual in colder climates. Fairly low-growing, it reaches a height of 30cm at most. The basal leaves are coarse, medium green with a silvery grey underside. They form large clumps, topped with multiple stems bearing a solitary capitulum or flower head. 'Kiss White' F1 is a compact selection that belongs to the 'Kiss' series, a collection of hybrid cultivars bred for their large blooms and vivid colours. It features a double row of creamy white ray flowers marked with contrasting purplish brown; these surround a velvety golden yellow central disc covered with fluted disc flowers.

Treasure flowers are perfect for adding splashes of colour to borders and summer bedding schemes. They are suitable for edging, along garden paths or slopes, and look great in pots and containers in a veranda or on the patio. They are drought tolerant, and grow in all soils with a preference for sandy, perfectly drained soils. Make sure to provide them with full sun or else the flowers won't open.
