LIGHT: Gerbera daisies thrive best under the full sun but do not like intense heat.
SOIL: Start your Gerbera daisy bed with rich soil high in organic matter and well-draining. Gerbera daisies also like soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5.
TALL: Grows up to 10–18 in. tall, 9–12 in. wide.
SOW: Press the seeds gently onto the top of your soil mixture, rather than burying them beneath it—they need light to germinate properly.
GERMINATION: Place the seeds in a warm, sunny spot (a temperature range of 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit is best) and wait approximately two to four weeks for germination.
Gerbera daisies are so vividly colored that they can sometimes make you wonder if they're real. Native to South Africa, Gerbera jamesonii is in the Aster family, alongside sunflowers. Gerbera daisies today are the result of hybridization techniques. In most parts of the United States, Gerberas are tender perennials that come back every year. In cold winter zones without winter protection, these plants are treated as annuals. They are best planted in spring after all chances of frost have passed. Gerbera daisies can be grown from seed outside in containers and garden beds. They'll establish themselves at a moderate pace, delivering their first flowers within 14 to 18 weeks and continuing to bloom throughout the summer.
