Description
Gerbera jamesonii hybrids are one of the loveliest annuals that can be grown from seed and are known commonly called Gerbera Daisies. This mix has shades of pink, rose and watermelon-red. The daisy-like blooms are 3 4 inches across and are on thick stems making them great for cutting. The foliage is dark green and compact and the stems rise above it. Deadhead the spent blooms and new blooms just keep coming and coming! Start the seed indoors 8 10 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the seeds into the soil, pointed end down, covering them lightly. Keep the seed moist until germination. With temperatures of 70F, germination is normally within 21 days. Transplant outdoors when frost danger has passed. Space the plants 12 – 16 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in rich, well-drained soil. In areas with long growing seasons, Gerbera can be grown directly outside in prepared seedbeds.
