Description
Gerbera jamesonii is an extremely popular tender perennial, excellent for cutting. This seed mix features large 15 cm blooms in a wide range of bright, bold colours from May to August.
Gerbera jamesonii, sometimes called Transvaal or African daisy, is a fast growing and early flowering perennial belonging to the Asteraceae family, native to South Africa. This seed mix brings together plants with an erect habit (40-50 cm tall and 30 cm wide), producing basal rosettes of deeply lobed lanceolate leaves. The flowerheads (capitulum) appear on long stems in a very varied mix of bold colours including scarlet red, bright pink or amber yellow. The central disc is often creamy white.
Transvaal daisies enjoy a sunny position and rich, well-drained soils. They are easy to grow but have a poor frost tolerance which is why they are often grown in pots or containers and overwintered indoors. They are also popular house plants. With their elegant simplicity and remarkable vase life, Gerbera jamesonii combine well with roses, Peruvian lilies and snapdragons.

Planting and care
Sow from January to March on the surface of good quality sowing mix and firm down gently. Don’t cover the seeds as they require plenty of light to germinate. Place in a propagator, polythene bag, or near a radiator and keep at a temperature of 18 to 24°C. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged until germination (15 to 25 days). When the young plants are strong enough to be handled, transplant them into individual pots or containers. Gradually harden them off and plant them out once all risk of frost is over. Space the plants 40 cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil and full sun. Gerbera seeds are very fine, take care not to lose them when opening the seed packet!

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
