  • Name - Gerberas are also referred to as African daisy, Transvaal daisy or Barbeton daisy. They are named after Traugott Gerber, a German doctor who collected plants on the Danish peninsula. The jamesonii part is named after another collector Jameson who discovered the plant in the Transvaal area of South Africa
  • Description - A flowering plant with large daisy-shaped flowers which come in a variety of colours.
  • Origin - South Africa
  • Care Tips - Gerberas enjoy a brightly lit position with some direct sun and should be kept moist at all times though not waterlogged, using warm water. Mist leaves occasionally and feed once a week during flowering. Treat gerbera as long-lived bouquets rather than long-term plants - once flowering has finished, don't be afraid to throw the plant away. You can place it outside if temperatures are over 10 degrees C.
