Gazania Butterscotch Baby (African Daisy) is a reliably perennial Gazania hybrid that blooms with half dollar sized, butterscotch orange flowers in mid- to late spring. Discovered growing in Pueblo Colorado, the plant tolerates extremes of heat and cold. Drought resistant perennial plant (xeric).
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
3-4" tall x 8-10" wide. Small, bright and delicious, the flowers of Gazania 'Butterscotch Baby' are a delight. A garden hybrid, this African Daisy has a low, tight, tidy rosette of thin green leaves. In addition, this perennial is very cold hardy and garden tested, surviving below zero winter temperatures. Discovered in the xeric garden of cactus expert Jeff Thompson.

Tips For Growing Gazania (African Daisy)
Gazania (African Daisy) is a genus of African wildflowers known for their showy, daisy-like flowers. Preferred growing conditions:
Plant in a fast draining, infertile soil with full sun. Avoid clay soils. Mulch with gravel or not at all.
Water regularly for the first 2 to 3 months to establish new transplants. Thereafter, infrequent but deep watering is adequate.
The plants benefit from deadheading to extend the blooming period and limit reseeding where it's not desirable.
Fertilize lightly in the fall with a half and half blend of Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.
Special comments:
Gazania are typically short lived perennials and gardeners should replace tired plants every 3 or 4 growing seasons. Gazania are willing re-seeders and can be encouraged to do so by mulching with gravel.
Reinvigorate the plants in mid-spring by vigorously scratching out the dead foliage to reveal new leaves emerging from the crown. Don't cut the plants back to the ground as this can kill them.
