This will be a 'I'll ask my wife question' :)

Meantime I found this

Name: treasure flower, gazania, Gazania rigens and varieties
Height: ground-covering herbaceous perennial usually no more than 50cm high
Foliage: green or grey-green, narrow, pointed leaves; some are downy; some
have a light underside.
Climate: sub-tropical to temperate; drought-hardy; frost-tolerant.
Soil: well-drained; tolerant of poor soils; the better the soil, the better
the plant will grow and flower.
Position: full sun; tolerant of light shade, but too much shade inhibits
flowering.
Flowering: daisy flowers in bright colours and multi-colours, some with dark
centres.
Feeding: use a long-term, controlled-release fertiliser.
Watering: water when conditions are hot and dry; good drainage is essential.

Best, Paul
