The flowering plant Gazania, of southern Africa, is named after him.

Another new one that holds great promise is a hardy gazania named Colorado Gold.

In this study, all of Roessler's species except Gazania othonnites were sampled.

Since it is rather dwarf, less than a foot tall, Colorado Gold gazania is recommended for rock gardens.

Flagstone walkways cut a swath through an acre or two of lawn bordered by yellow gazania.

In 1959, Helmut Roessler published what he considered to be a preliminary revision of Gazania.

This remarkable gazania hails from the mountain regions of South Africa and is described as being hardy to Zone 4 in this country.

A commonly grown variety is the trailing gazania (Gazania rigens var.

Many of the species of Gazania are hard to distinguish and the number of species assigned to the genus has varied widely from one author to another.

Gazania (Gazania rigens)

I was surprised to see pretty flowers like scabiosa, bearded iris, and gazania thriving here and made a mental note to cut their water rations in my own garden.

Some sun-loving annuals you might enjoy are African daisy (Arctotis), cosmos, verbena, lantana, globe amaranth, strawflower, love-in-a-mist, calendula, gazania and nasturtium.

The island is home to more than 3,000 plant species including many subtropical plants, such as cactus, palm tree, gazania, sunshine, eucalyptus, bottlebrush bush, New Zealand flax, and agave.

It causes the flowers of the bedding-out Mesembryanthemum and Drosera to close, but it has not this effect on Gazania and the daisy, so I can make out no rule.

I pull from the freezer a Baggie of jagged leaves picked from a gazania, a South African beauty that has taken root in the driveway, right next to a dryer vent, and in the January cold has burst into full bloom.

Another popular cultivated variety is the clumping gazania (Gazania rigens) which has a number of named cultivars including 'Aztec', 'Burgundy', 'Copper King', 'Fiesta Red', 'Goldrush' and 'Moonglow'.

In Australia, where it is known as coastal gazania, the species has become naturalised on coastal dunes and roadsides in the Central Coast and Sydney regions of New South Wales as well as the coast of South East Queensland.

We found a home for them, as well as for an ornamental grass, which was headed for the garbage (it looked pretty mangy after the drought this summer) until we found a space between a butterfly bush and a patch of gazania (which has those deep orange, daisylike flowers that open and close with the sun).
