Gerberas, with their colourful daisy flowers sitting on top of upright stems, are some of the most popular cut flowers.
Position
Full Sun
Sow
Press lightly (as seeds need light to germinate) into trays of Yates Seed Raising Mix. Firm down and water with a fine mist spray. Retain moisture by covering with glass or plastic cling wrap. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle.
Care
Choose a sunny position with excellent drainage. Add Yates Blood & Bone before planting and fertilise regularly with Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food. Do not overwater. Protect from snails and slugs with Yates Blitzem Snail & Slug Pellets.
Hint
Water around the base of the plant, keeping crown dry. Mulch with coarse material or gravel to avoid splashback onto the plant.
