Dramatic gerberas are no longer just a houseplant – these hardy plants will thrive in the garden. And, once established, each plant will produce up to 100 blooms during the course of their long flowering season. Flowers April-October. Height 20-30cm (8-12″). Sweet Love – Bright vivid red flowers.
Pot up gerbera plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When they are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting into their final positions. Plant gerberas outdoors in fertile, well drained soil in sheltered, sunny borders. When growing gerbera in patio containers, use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2.
