Over-wintered gazanias

I've got some over-wintered gazanias, for no better reason than they were in a tub and there was room in the greenhouse. A few of them have started sprouting. Are they likely to do as well as the bedding gazanias that you buy every year? They're obviously a half-hardy perennial, I wondered if the performance was best in the first year.

 

i planted 2 of mine on tues, finger crossed but kept one in the greenhouse just in case

 

I overwintered some of mine too, they are sproting and producing lots of foliage. Just keep them away from frost and they should start flowering again in the summer

 

I remember taking cuttings from these to overwinter in the greenhouse, its the only way with named varieties.
Now days seed strains have really produced some good plants so maybe no body does it any more?

As to overwintered plants?
Can think of one problem, they might just get too big or woody at the base, causing a bare centre in the plant.
But never tried it so I'm just guessing.

 

I've had two over the past two years and neither have come back despite the label stating Hardy Perennial so the above may explain why. Can't go wrong with the Gaillardia Arizona Sun though which has been evergreen for the past three years.
