Gerbera Seed

Gerbera Daisy plants are a tender perennial. They grow everywhere as a colorful annual, and have a tremendously long bloom season. They are also a good bedding item, and of course a mainstay of the cutting garden. The flowers loves full sun and appreciates deep, rich soil, so work in compost and other organics and keep the water coming. Sow Gerbera Daisy seeds indoors 8 - 10 weeks before the last frost. Use starter trays and sterile potting mix. Place the pointed end of the flower seed down when sowing, and barely cover the seeds as they need light to germinate. Transplant outdoors once danger of frost has passed. You may also sow Gerbera Daisy seeds directly outdoors when soil temperatures are warm.

LET543 Jamesonii Mix

Jamesonii Mix Gerbera is a brilliant blend of large, daisy-like flowers in vibrant shades of red, scarlet, orange, yellow, pink, rose, salmon, white, and bicolors. Derived from Gerbera jamesonii, this spectacular flowering plant is prized worldwide for its bold colors, long bloom season, and exceptional value as both a garden and cut flower.

Garden Uses

Jamesonii Mix is perfect for flower beds, borders, containers, patio planters, cutting gardens, and colorful landscape displays. The large blooms rise above compact rosettes of deep green foliage, creating eye-catching splashes of color throughout the growing season.

This mix is especially attractive when planted in groups where the broad range of flower colors can create a dazzling display. The flowers blend beautifully with petunias, alyssum, verbena, salvia, marigolds, ornamental grasses, and silver-foliaged plants such as Dusty Miller.

Gerberas are also highly valued for patio gardens and decorative containers where their bright blooms can be enjoyed up close.

Growing Information

Jamesonii Mix thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, fertile, well-drained soil. In regions with intense summer heat, light afternoon shade can help extend bloom quality and maintain vigorous growth.

Seeds are typically started indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost. Germination requires warmth, bright light, and consistent moisture. Young seedlings should be handled carefully, as gerberas prefer steady growing conditions.

Plants perform best when watered regularly but not excessively. Good drainage is important, as overly wet soil can lead to crown and root problems. Feeding periodically during the growing season encourages continued flower production.

Removing faded blooms helps stimulate additional flowering and keeps plants neat and attractive.
