	A favourite of gardeners living in coastal areas because of their bright, sunny, daisy style flowers and their ability to withstand coastal conditions. Older varieties are considered very invasive, particularly in residential areas near coastal and mallee environments where they will spread along roadsides from seeds blown from nearby gardens and dumped garden waste.

HOW IT SPREADS Produce abundant seeds that are spread by wind and water Spread by dumping garden waste Also spread by runners which prevent native ground covers from growing.

Avoid any seed grown plants!





Gazanias - sterile varieties It is safe to grow the new sterile Gazania hybrids listed opposite. They have been specially bred as non-invasive and are relatively drought tolerant with improved growth habit, foliage, flower colour and size without viable seed set.
