Big Kiss Yellow Flames - Gazania
This annual variety has bright red-striped yellow flowers up to 12 cm in diameter. Its resistance to heat and drought makes it an excellent plant for rock gardens.
Sow in trays under light cover, taking care not to over-cover the seeds. Keep moist until emergence. Transplant into individual cups when the plants have reached a few centimetres in height, then plant out when the soil has warmed up, 30 cm apart in all directions.
Cut off spent flowers as they appear to encourage flowering.
