Planting & Care

Sow Gerbera daisy seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil moist. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In cooler zones, dig up plants before frost and overwinter indoors, or treat as annuals.
