Gazanias have earned a bit of a bad rap in recent years, and for good reason. Many older varieties have naturalised in parts of Australia and are now considered environmental weeds. But not all gazanias are created equal. The new Gazania ‘Double Gold’ is completely different — it’s sterile, non-invasive, and bred for performance.
At The Plant Hub, we stock Gazania ‘Double Gold’ because it gives you all the toughness and colour of gazanias, without the problems.
What Makes Gazania ‘Double Gold’ Different?
Unlike traditional gazanias that spread by seed, Gazania ‘Double Gold’ is sterile, meaning it does not produce viable seed. This makes it a safe, environmentally responsible choice for Australian gardens and landscaping projects.
Key features:
-
Non-invasive: Sterile and safe to plant without risk of weed spread.
-
Flowers: Masses of bright golden-yellow daisy-like flowers almost all year round.
-
Growth habit: Fast-growing, spreading groundcover to about 30 cm high and 1 metre across.
-
Foliage: Attractive, evergreen silver-grey leaves.

Gazania ‘Double Gold’ is a low-maintenance groundcover ideal for:
-
Roadside and council plantings where erosion control is needed

Borders and mass planting for a big splash of colour
