Gerbera (African Daisy)
Color Name: Revolution Select Mix
Revolutionize your garden with our vibrant Gerbera Select Mix! You are going to flip over these bright, bold colors of pink, red, yellow and purple! Semi-double, 4 inch blooms on vigorous plants are perfect for patio-ready decorative pots. Early-flowering and extremely large blooms put on a stunning display in larger patio containers and garden beds.
Growing Tips: Water if the top inch of soil is dry. Do it early in the day, don't wet the foliage, and allow the crown to dry out between waterings. If you find the plant wilting in the morning before the sun hits it, the soil is probably too dry and you'll need to water. Be careful not to overwater as this will cause root rot.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
