Red Gerbera Daisy
Gardeners all over the world are discovering the joys of growing gerberas. These cheery tender perennials are also known as 'Transvaal' or 'South African' daisies after their native home of Transvaal Province, South Africa. Only now are they making a splash in the US, and Spring Hill is proud to offer th top quality specimen--Red Gerbera Daisy.
Large and velvety, gerbera's daisylike blooms come in a rainbow of vivid colors and dance above a cushion of soft, lush foliage on thick, sturdy stems. Often the flower form is so perfect and uniform that they may be mistaken for artificial flowers. But these very real eye-catching blooms grow with abandon and last all summer long!
Use your Gerbera daisies to add flare to a traditional landscape planting. They're an exciting alternative to standard bedding plants such as marigolds, petunias and salvia. Planted in your garden, they will attract bees and butterflies, but not deer. They're also ideal for containers such as window boxes and patio planters. When the weather turns cool in fall, take the pots inside to a sunny windowsill. Your plants will perk up the following spring, just in time to enjoy another season of glorious blooms.
These versatile, easy-to-grow plants also are long lasting in the vase. Professional florists love them for cut-flower arrangements-and so will you. Try them for yourself and you will unlock new creative possibilities!
Spring Hill Gerbera Daisies come in red, orange, pink, yellow and white. Each grows to a height of 12-18" with a spread of 12-15".
Shipped in 3" pot. Deer tend to avoid.
