PLANT SPOTLIGHT
The cheery colors and sunny sparkle of the Gerbera Daisy provide the perfect backdrop for a welcoming garden. Named after German naturalist Trauhott Gerber, these flowers belong to a family of about 40 species and also go by the name Transvaal daisies, reflecting their origins in South Africa. Their simple elegance, sturdy stature and luscious hues have led Gerbera daisies to become nearly as popular as roses and carnations among floral designers and flower shops — they are the fifth most popular cut flower in the world. While many are grown commercially in greenhouses, there are many varieties you can grow at home, in the ground or in containers. They’ve been called the happiest flowers on Earth. In the language of flowers, the daisy in general represents innocence, purity and beauty. The Gerbera in particular is a symbol of cheerfulness, making plants or cut flowers wonderful as hostess or birthday gifts, or as a simple, bright surprise to lift the spirit.

Gerbera Daisies require morning sun to light shade.

They grow best in well-drained soil and can easily rot, so take care not to over-water and to keep the root crown just above the soil line. To minimize fungal diseases, avoid wetting the foliage when watering. Plant them from seed or transplant in fall or late winter for late spring color. Space 12 inches to 15 inches apart. Height depends on variety, but expect an average of 12 inches to 20 inches. Follow a regular watering schedule to establish, then switch to watering deeply, allowing slight (not severe) drying before watering again.
