Slightly taller than most, with flat heads of soft lemon. Not overly vigorous and very lovely with little colour change as the flowers age. More useful with taller perennials than the identically coloured but shorter statured A. ‘Hella Glashoff’.
For any sunny soil.
An exceptional groundcover, the silver foliage flowing over hot, bare soil and amply furnished with 8cm wide, soft lemon, fully double, daisy-like flowers.
Not to be confused with your everyday road verge Gazania>, although Lemon Soda is equally as tough, this is a much more beautiful plant a must for every sunny garden and being fully double cannot self seed.
Trim off spent flowers occasionally.
Introduced to us via a keen gardener from Zimbabwe, who brought her favourite plants with her upon immigrating to Perth. We are ever grateful.
The tight clumps of softly silver, sword shaped leaves, of this evergreen, sun loving perennial, are outstanding when combined with low mound forming plants like Dianthus, Sedum, Origanum and small growing winter bulbs. The slender spikes of soft lemon flowers, borne in spring, make this Chilean native indispensable in the garden.
Good drainage is essential.
Generally short lived, 3-4 years, but self sows nicely in well drained soil.
