Description

Gerberas are a colourful and bright flowering plant with a basal rosette of deeply lobed, lance shaped leaves and tall daisy like flower heads in most colours of the rainbow with the exception of blues and purples. They are an ideal rockery or specimen plant and also popular as cut flowers for the vase or floral arrangement. The flowers are borne singly on long stems up to 45cm tall in spring and summer. Good soil drainage and regular feeding are the key requirements for successfully growing gerbera.
