Discover the captivating beauty of Gerbera jamesonii, commonly known as Barberton or Gerber Daisy. Native to southeastern Africa, this vibrant member of the aster family brings a splash of color to gardens and containers alike. Revered for its showy flowers, Gerber Daisy showcases an array of hues ranging from vivid reds and oranges to soft pinks, whites, and the occasional yellow. These daisies bloom from spring through fall, gracing your space with their elegant presence atop tall, leafless stems that rise above a lush rosette of slender, dark green leaves.

To enjoy the best of Gerbera jamesonii, plant them in well-drained, organically rich soil under full sun or with some afternoon shade in hotter climates. Their forgiving nature allows for use in borders, as an annual in colder regions, or as a perennial in zones 8-11. Ensure proper moisture and light fertilization, and consider pots or raised beds if drainage poses a challenge. While these daisies are low-maintenance, deadheading spent blooms encourages more vibrant displays throughout the blooming season.
