March 19, 2016Q.Gazania over winter
I have a very large garden pot which is full of Gazanias from last year. Living in quite a mild climate, I left them in over winter. They have some green leaves, but mostly died off leaves looking like dead grass. I think they will be ok for this year. My question is, do I cut them back to virtually ground level to allow new growth?

March 20, 2016A.You can cut the foliage back to 2 or 3 inches above the ground with pruning shears, which will encourage encourage new growth.

April 19, 2016Q.encouraging gazanias to produce more flowers
How can I encourage my gazanias to produce more flowers? They have great foliage, and propagate well. But not nearly as many flowers as they used to have. The gazanias are about 8-10 years old and used to flower a lot. But just a few flowers now.

April 20, 2016A.Poor flowering on gazanias can be attributed to too much nitrogen (which promotes healthy foliage at the expense of flower production), not removing flowers as they start to fade (energy diverted into seeding rather than flowering), insufficient lighting, etc. However, given the age of your plant, I suspect the problem may be due to overcrowding. Gazanias have a tendency to become crowded after a few years. In this case you should dig up and divide into clumps to re-plant.

92691Q.My gazania flowers seem to all be dying
I've had my gazanias planted for about 3 weeks. The first week I watered every other day. Then I read they don't need that much water so now I water them about once every 5 days. Most of the flowers look dead, even when the sun is out. I'm in SoCal so it's hot. How much water and how often should I be watering them?
- Answered by

May 1, 2017A.It appears that you need to water more. Daily watering and even twice daily if the temperatures are above 80 degrees F. Though they are considered a drought tolerant plant, that is only after they are well established.
Soil should be well draining.
It appears you have pepper plants in the bed also, and the yellowing leaves indicate a watering issue. In this case it appears you need to water your beds more.
