1. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil in full sun. Water regularly to establish roots and then water weekly or less in wet weather.
2. Gazania is a tender perennial in zone 8-11. Grow it annually in colder climates, or you may choose to overwinter containers indoors. Bring containers in before the first frost and store them in a bright, cool place; water sparingly, just enough to keep the soil from being completely dry.
3. Deadhead to keep this plant blooming continuously. Feed once a month during the flowering season.
For best results with Rigens Giant Violet Bicolor, use well-drained soil with medium feed (175-225 ppm N), a pH of 5.8-6.2, and an EC of 1.2-1.5. Provide daytime temperatures of 65-70 degrees and nighttime temperatures of 55-60 degrees. As a facultative long-day plant, Gazania has a longer crop time grown in low light levels. Plants grown during long days will flower earlier. You may see aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips. Gazania can be prone to fungus and root rot.
