I have it among my orange gazanias, I like a lot, although they are getting leggy right now, I have to trim back, but quite hardy.

Gold coin has a tendency to be woody and dense. Here in Southern California, it has needed a little shearing because it is slightly invasive and because of its dense character. Its tight growth allows easy shaping without gaps. Its flowers are close growing to the foliage giving a bouquet-like effect. The flower's center is slightly depressed promoting the coin-like moniker. The deep green foliage takes overhead watering without mildew.

An excellent, non-invasive groundcover plant. Pest-free and drought-tolerant once established. Deadheading will prolong bloom time. A very good alternative to gazania.
