Gazania Enorma series
Enorma is a new collection of large Gazania rigens presented by Hem Genetics in 2017, available in 6 shades as well as a formula mix. Our dog breeders selected for large flower dimension, respected flower production, as well as, as opposed to a grey tomentose fallen leave, we chose for a dark eco-friendly, glossy leaf. That grey unshaven fallen leave is a desert adaption to allow dew to condense on the hairs in the evening as a water resource to drain pipes down to the crown of the plant– for use as a bed linen plant, that extra water in the evening can lead to crown rot. This inspired our dog breeders to pick for faster draining pipes of water away from the crown for better survivability in wetter locations.
Suitable for use in ground beds in warm areas, it is also an exceptional winter season yearly in Florida, South Texas and the instant Gulf Coastal location. It has excellent frost and light freeze resistance as well as likes the great nights and warm bright days of the Deep South. It is additionally a plant often neglected for use in blended containers, because its blossoms close at nighttime. Think about the fact that Gazanias include interest to containers since they provide movement– flowers opening in the mornings stand out, and also the big shut flowers give shade as well as texture to combined containers. Since Gazanias can withstand light frosts and short period freezes, they can be used as both very early as well as late season extenders.
