Discover the stunning Gerbera jamesonii, also known as the Barberton Daisy or Transvaal Daisy. Indigenous to South Eastern Africa, this perennial flower is a member of the Gerbera genus, named in honor of German naturalist Traugott Gerber. The flower was discovered in 1889 by Robert Jameson, and since then has become a beloved favorite across the world. Known for its vibrant colors - yellow, orange, white, pink or red - and large capitulum composed of hundreds of two-lipped ray florets, it has found commercial significance as one of the most popular cut flowers globally. With optimal growing conditions being rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun, you can propagate it via seeds, cuttings or dividing. Best suited to climates with warm days and cool nights, the Gerbera daisy is relatively disease- and insect-free. Ranging in hues from pink, yellow, red, orange, salmon, lavender, rose, cream to white, this flower can transform any room or garden into a colorful paradise.
