I have just planted this selection using Gazania Tiger Stripes and Rudbeckia Rustic Dwarfs. I would like to know if I can over winter these plants in a cold frame. The seed packet described the Rudbeckia as half hardy perenial but I'm not sure about the Gazania Tiger Stripes as the seed packet was not clear.
I can only relate my experience of gazanias planted in my garden-they have survived 2 winters-looked a bit tatty earlier in the year but after a tidy up they are now fine-same goes for 3 in a container that got left out all winter too-they seem to be described as half-hardy yet I am treating them as hardy perennials-so make of that what you will.
Just for the record this is in Southampton- but we had snow, ice etc
