Gerber Daisy, also known as Transvaal Daisy, is a stunning flowering plant prized for its large, bold blooms in vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white. The flowers, with their striking central disk and daisy-like petals, sit atop sturdy stems, making them popular in garden beds, containers, and as cut flowers. Gerber Daisies bloom throughout the summer and bring a cheerful, tropical vibe to any landscape.

Growing Conditions:
Light: Full sun to part shade (prefers morning sun with some afternoon shade in hot climates)
Soil: Well-drained, rich in organic matter
Watering: Moderate; prefers evenly moist soil but does not tolerate soggy conditions

Care Tips:
Gerber Daisies require regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases, and water at the base of the plant. Fertilize every 3–4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer or one high in phosphorus to encourage healthy blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming. In cooler climates, Gerber Daisies can be overwintered indoors or treated as annuals.

Uses:
Gerber Daisies are perfect for garden beds, borders, and mixed containers, where their bright, showy flowers add vibrant color. They also make excellent cut flowers, known for their long vase life. Their compact size and cheerful blooms make them ideal for patio planters and window boxes.
