Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Vibrant Displays: Produces a dazzling array of short-stemmed, daisy-like flowers in vivid colors above silvery green foliage, reaching a height of 22 cm (9 inches).
  • Optimal Growing Conditions: Prefers a warm, full sun location with soil temperatures around 21°C (70°F). Ideal in light, sandy, somewhat dry soils for best growth.
  • Germination & Care: Seeds germinate in 10-12 days when covered with 1 cm (1/2 inch) of light loamy soil. Maintain growth temperature at 15°C (60°F) and space plants 30 cm (12 inches) apart.
  • Low Maintenance & High Reward: Requires minimal watering, making it excellent for dry climates. Fertilize biweekly with a 10-52-17 mix and liquid seaweed to ensure robust, healthy blooms.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow Gazania New Day Mix seeds indoors about 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use light, loamy soil and cover seeds with 1 cm (1/2 inch) of soil. Maintain a soil temperature of around 21°C (70°F) for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 10-12 days.

Once seedlings are robust, transplant them outdoors. Harden off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Space the plants 30 cm (12 inches) apart in well-draining, sandy soil under full sun. Ensure temperatures remain cooler, around 15°C (60°F), to promote strong growth.
