A 'Big' addition to the 'Kiss' Gazania series. Possibly the largest-flowered bedding gazania from seed, the flowers of Gazania Big Kiss are 50% bigger than those of traditional varieties - each bloom is an amazing 12cm (4½in) in diameter! The vibrant yellow and red stripes of Gazania Big Kiss Yellow Flame look as though they have been individually painted.

Flowers all summer in a sunny garden situation - in borders or in containers on the patio.

Sowing Instructions

Sow in late winter/early spring (February to April) in pots or trays of moist seed compost and lightly cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite to a maximum depth of 3mm (1/8in). Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag until germination occurs. Put in a warm place at a constant temperature of 18-25C (65-77F). Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. Germination will usually take 14-30 days.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9 to 12 inch) apart or plant into baskets and containers of good multi-purpose compost.
