Environment

Keep your Gazenia Sunshine Mix Flower Seeds well-drained and in full sunlight. They prefer neutral to slightly acidic soil and thrive in hot summer temperatures. For optimal air circulation, space plants 20-30 cm apart. Avoid over-watering or providing too much shade, as this may hinder flowering and cause root rot. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the blooming period and regularly remove dead flowers to promote more blooms.

Landscape

Upright plants are excellent for the rock garden or containers with larger flowers and robust growth.
