Deservedly popular throughout the world, Gerbera jamesonii (Gerbera Daisy) is an elegant, upright, evergreen perennial, often grown as an annual, forming a basal rosette of tongue-shaped, dark green, lobed leaves, 10 in. long (25 cm). Blooming any time of the year (as perennial) with peaks in early summer and late fall, ravishing single or semi-double daisy-like flowers, up to 4-5 in. across (10-12 cm), are borne singly atop slim yet sturdy, naked stems well above the foliage. The flowers are available in a wide range of colors, including red, yellow, orange, white, and pastel colors.
Gerbera jamesonii is one of the most popular ornamental flowers in the world, both as a cut flower and as a pot plant. Grown in gardens worldwide, it is wonderful for creating a dazzling display for months.
