Yes. Gazania rigens flowers typically open in bright sunlight and close during the evening or on cloudy days. This natural response to changing light conditions is characteristic of Treasure Flowers. Planting them in a sunny location encourages their flower heads to open fully during the day.
Sow Gazania seeds in a light, well-drained growing medium and press them gently into the surface. Maintain suitable warmth and moisture during germination. Once seedlings develop true leaves, transplant them into a sunny location with well-drained soil. Avoid excessive watering during plant establishment.
Gazania flowers respond strongly to sunlight. Their flower heads may remain closed during cloudy weather, in low-light locations, or during the evening. Move container-grown plants to a brighter location with direct sunlight. Also check that the soil drains properly and that the plants are not experiencing excessive moisture or other growing stress.
