#gazania #sunshinemixed mulched #advice Will this be ok outside or should I overwinter I’m in my greenhouse/shed? 27/10/19

Think it depends where you are in the country, down south its OK to leave out

@carolgs I’m in Gloucestershire, on a hill!!! Might put this one in greenhouse and others that are in troughs can take a chance!

I also brought these inside last year and they were fine, I did put a couple out too early and the frost got them, again would like to know what others do.

Mine always come back

Ok thanks. Will have a think about what to do with the ones in troughs then! @sieveheadsarah @jaynehynesburton

If you have favourites then I'd bring them in, I still think I'm going to dig mine up that I planted out as I'd be gutted if they didn't cone back year.

It has opened!! Maybe moving it to get earlier sun did it, or maybe it was just its time! Either way I am ecstatic!! 🤗🤗😂 @kez001uk @sieveheadsarah 20/09/19 #gazania #sunshinemixed

Woo hoo, it's a beauty Alison 😍👍🏼

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I came home and saw it had opened!! So sad!! 😂😂 @sieveheadsarah

It is exciting Alison, I'm the same 😀👍🏼😂

@bluefox23 and well worth the wait! It’s gorgeous 💛🌞💛 I get just as excited! Boggles my mind that all that beautifulness was in a tiny seed 🤯 stunning 😍

It is definitely an awe and wonder moment! 😊 @kez001uk

Yes it’s quite mesmerising! @gjones

Another 10 days on and I’m still waiting!! 😡😡😡 #gazania #sunshinemixed 20/09/19 @kez001uk

@sieveheadsarah Are yours as slow as mine to open up?

They are Alison 💤💤 is it in full sun??

Only the afternoon. I might have to shuffle the pots around. Mind you, I have a couple that get more sun and they haven’t even got any buds on!! @sieveheadsarah

I love them but they don't ever seem to have many flowers on them, it's a good job that when they do flower they're pretty impressive. Yep, move it into a sunnier place Alison and see what happens, I do remember that the first year I grew them from seed they were very slow/late to flower, this year they were much earlier.

I've moved the trough this one is in now, so I'll see what happens! Hopefully they'll be a bit quicker next year! @sieveheadsarah

Fingers crossed Alison 👍🏼 I've just been out and dug up my 6 small ones and put them in a pot together, so they can now be in full sun, the things we do for plants!! 😂😂😂 I'll post a pic.

@bluefox23 not any longer though 😉😉

cataloguing #gazania #sunshinemixed seeds sown 23/03/19 packet says germination 12-21 days

I grew these last year, they're lovely 😍

I loved seeing photos of these last year so was inspired to try them this year 👍🏼 @sieveheadsarah

I managed to overwinter some of mine 😀 but I've bought more seeds as I loved them so much! 👍🏼👍🏼

Ooh I’ll remember that 👍🏼 @sieveheadsarah
I’m so pleased these #gazania #grownfromseed last year overwintered well. Beautiful big blooms. I’m having rubbish look growing anything from seed this year. #sunshinemixed
They’re looking great and you’ve had the same ones make it through winter that I did 😁 funny you should say about seeds, I’m struggling too! The early ones I sowed did ok but ones from late April have barely germinated - 30+ varieties and so far only 1 single sunflower has germinated 😐
I'm having a bad year when it comes to seeds. A couple of things have done really well but most 😕
@kez001uk @alan1111 I’ve had another (possibly final?) attempt at sowing seeds today! 🤞🏼
Wishing you all the luck in the world Alison 🍀🍀🍀
@bluefox23 hope they’ll all do well for you this time 🤞🏻
