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:

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.
