- Species and varieties: Gerbera, commonly known as Gerbera daisies, belong to the Asteraceae family. There are several species and varieties of Gerbera, including Gerbera jamesonii, Gerbera viridifolia, and various hybrids. Rare varieties may include unique colorations and petal formations not commonly found in standard Gerbera daisies.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Gerbera seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Hybrid varieties are often bred for specific traits such as color, size, and disease resistance. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, maintaining their original characteristics.
- Pruning and training: Gerbera daisies require regular deadheading to encourage continuous blooming. Remove spent flowers and any yellowing leaves to maintain plant health and appearance. No significant training is required, but staking may be necessary for taller varieties to prevent them from toppling over.
- Fertilization needs: Gerbera daisies benefit from regular fertilization. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. A slow-release fertilizer can also be applied at the beginning of the growing season.
- Hardiness zones: Gerbera daisies are typically suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8-11. In these zones, they can be grown as perennials. In cooler climates, they are often grown as annuals or in containers that can be brought indoors during colder months.
- Climate requirements: Gerbera daisies thrive in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. They prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C) and require full sun to partial shade. They are sensitive to frost and should be protected from extreme cold.
