If you’re looking for a drought tolerant annual flower, then try our featured flower of the month the Gazania. Gazania’s are full sun daisy like flowers that thrive in the dry heat of summer. They perform magnificently in sandy soil. Gazania’s take 60-70 days to mature, so if you live in an area with a short growing season you will want to start plants indoors about 8 weeks before the last frost. The blooms are boldly colored, open during the day, and close at night. I experienced great success with Gazania’s using them as border flowers in my garden. Cheers
