Gerbera
One of the most popular ornamental flowers in the world, Gerbera are striking perennials boasting ravishing single or semi-double, daisy-like flowers, up to 4-5 in. across (10-12 cm), atop slim yet sturdy, naked stems. Blooming from spring to the first frost, they rise above basal rosettes of tongue-shaped leaves. Available in a wide range of colors, including red, yellow, orange, white and pastel colors, Gerbera daisies are wonderful for creating a dazzling display in gardens, containers or in the vase.
