Create an outstanding summer display to be proud of with these superb sunny flowers.

Each flowerhead is sure to leave you smiling, with yellow petals that darken towards the centre into an orange halo ring.

The delightful blooms, which grow in an abundance, only standout more as they contrast perfectly against neat and healthy foliage, which grows in a remarkable dark-green shade. The foliage forms a remarkable carpet for the garden floor, inspiring the name of this Gazania variety.

The smiling faces of these flowers appear for months throughout the summer and are a perfect option for adding a wave of cheer to the edge of borders and containers, while also being ideal for filling sunny beds.

For best impact, consider crafting a satisfying display by planting 'Suncarpet' alongside fiery bedding plants, like a Marigold mix, or the ever-delightful Biden ‘Hawaiian Flare’.

Supplied as three plug plants, ready to be grown on before planting out.

Top Tips

Deadhead when flowers fade to encourage more flowers to grow.

Care Information

Planting Advice:

  • Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
  • Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry.
  • They don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Plant approx. 20cm apart to allow them room to grow.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.


Aftercare advice:

  • Regular maintenance and watering are essential to grow fabulous containers that last the whole season.
  • Check and water containers every day in summer, unless the compost is already wet.
  • Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers.
  • From March to June, apply a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a week.
  • Deadhead and trim your plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage new flowers.
  • Do not allow plants to set seed.
Delivery Information
