They should grow all summer long as long as you cut off the spent flowers. That is called "deadheading" and it removes the seeds, so the plant wants to put out flowers again.
Make sure you have them in the sun most of the day.
Arent they beautifu?
When are gerbera daisies in season?
Now - it's Winter in Australia.
Reply:Summer
Reply:All summer. Just be sure to dead-head them to keep them coming all summer, otherwise they go to seed.

What won't my gerbera daisies bloom?
They're in front of a window (although not in direct sun) and I water them like twice a week. What's the deal?
What won't my gerbera daisies bloom?
Gerbera daisies are pretty picky. First off, are they young? If they have never bloomed, it may take them 6 mos. to mature enough to produce blooms. Secondly, did you plant them from store bought seed? If not, and you used seeds from some spent flower heads from seasons past, it will not bloom. This seed has come from a "hybrid" type. The seed from these types will not bloom true to form. Only the "jamesonii" variety will do this. Thirdly, Gerbera's need alot of sunlight, preferably all day long. They may stop blooming or slow down a bit, if the temp. is over 75 degrees. They need to be fertilized every couple of weeks with a water soluble fertilizer like miracle gro bloom booster or equivalent. Also, you need to let the soil dry out somewhat in between waterings. Remember, they are a flowering plant that is native to Africa, and thrive in a drier soil. They will bloom the longest when they get strong light, are fed regularly and are kept evenly moist and warm.. Hope this answers some of your questions...

Reply:i cant keep these plants either. they are beautiful, but i just kill them, i have tried 4 times now, and i have given up before i kill another. they are too sensitive for my clumsy ways. good luck.
Reply:I have never had a problem with gerbera daisies. I stick them in the ground and they grow and bloom until winter. I dead head the blooms and they just bloom again. These plants want 12 hours of sunlight. They are true sun lovers. They also like the ground to be 60 degrees at night. If your soil has not warmed to where it holds 60 degrees, the daisy will just shiver and wait until its roots get warm. If they are in your house, they may very well be potbound. Try and lift the daisy out of the soil. If it does not yield, try to use a butter knife to lift the soil ball. If the plants roots are all tied up in knots and you cant break the roots away from the soil, your plants need to be repotted.
Reply:If they were dug up and moved they are angry and it will take a year or more for them to bloom again--they do not like being disturbed. Which side of your house--if it is north they will need more sun.

I accidentally sprayed some of mini roses and gerbera with iron chelate powder? what should i do?
i did it about a week ago. the roses seem less affected than the gerberas. A few of them have gotten a few black spots but they seem fine despite that? the gerbera however has gotten dark discolourrations and looks really bad. the leaves have dry spots on them. i removed some of the leaves that looked beyond repair but i left the others. Should i just leave the plants for a while and let time play its course??? i think ive gone a bit overboard in my search for perfect roses and gerberas. even though i followed the instructions on the container i seem to have really botched up my plants. I also gave it to one of my plumbagos and it has shriveled up
I accidentally sprayed some of mini roses and gerbera with iron chelate powder? what should i do?
Iron causes black spots if it is concentrated like it is in chelated iron. If you haven't sprayed the leaves with water yet do that. And then just let the plants recover--unless you really overdosed them, iron is not fatal.

Caring for a gerbera daisy?
I was just given a potted gerbera daisy and I want to keep it alive as long as I possibly can (I don't usually keep flowers very long). It sits inside under artificial light because my office has no windows. I water my plants twice a week, but I don't want to do the same with this one because I'm afraid of overwatering it. Would once a week be ok? And will it still thrive under the artificial light?
Caring for a gerbera daisy?
The Gerbera is an annual, so it has a growing seaon then dies back, but don't throw it out! It will return year after year. After it's finished blooming (it can bloom for quite a while in ideal conditions; you can plant it in your yard and it will come back.
Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater. Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings
Reply:Gerbs are extremely sensitive to bacteria, which causes their stems to bend. Watering once a week should be just fine. Though if you find the soil to be a little dry, another watering won't hurt it. Remember to always use fresh, clean water. The artificial light from your office is perfect, since gerbs are sensitive and don't do well in direct sunlight or heat. Also, try to keep your flowers away from any drafts, as they are sensitive to these as well.
Try to keep your gerbera daisy plant free and clean of dust!
If you would like to prolong your gerbs life even more, you could always purchase a flower preservative (ex. aquaplus). Preservatives provide flowers with nutrients and helps prevent against bacteria.
Also, if you ever choose to cut and vase your gerbs -- make sure to thoroughly clean the vase and keep the water clean and fresh. If your daisies start to bend, clean the vase, change the water, and re-cut the stems.
Reply:gerberas are so touchy. water it when the soil seems dry. once a week should be ok since it's inside. if you have a window in your office, put it as close as you can to it. a shot of miracle grow once in a while would be good.

Are Gerbera Daisies offered all year round? Are they avaialable in September in New Jersey?
Since gerbera daisies really like hot weather i doubt whether they would be generally available at that time of year or if they are if they would be strong plants.
if you are asking because you want to be able to use them in a floral arrangement or for a bouquet or something you probably could get them at that time of year because florists get flowers from all over the world.
So if this is the case I would speak to the florist and place the order well in advance as they may need to be special ordered to make sure you have them when you want and need them
They are lovely though aren't they. So cheerful looking
Are Gerbera Daisies offered all year round? Are they avaialable in September in New Jersey?
I have never seen them for sale for general planting other than in the spring months, then they bloom throughout the summer. As long as they don't get sunburned, you may be able to keep some until September, but their cycle of blooming may be complete depending on where you live. Daisies need a period of cold between blooming cycles to produce blooms.
However, I have seen Gerbera Daisies in floral arrangements from retail florists year round, so if you want some in September, you may have to buy a cut flower arrangement from a florist.

What is the best month for Gerbera daisies?
Gerbera daisies are good to grow in zones 8-10, they are perennials in mild winter climates, annuals in the colder climates. If you are planting seeds, don't sow them until you know winter is completely over, if they are plants same thing. They need full sun except for very hot areas and a moist well drained soil liberally supplemented with peat moss or compost. Plant them 12-15 inches apart, feed with a 5-10-10 fertilizer scattered around each plant, and scratching it into the soil, every other month til late fall, if you daisies are not blooming well add a little liquid feed[follow mixing directions]. These plants can be divided after they start getting crowded, in about 3-4 years or sooner if you are a green thumb-er. Happy Growing!!!!!!!!!
What is the best month for Gerbera daisies?
I would say late spring, and early summer. I think they bloom best during those months.

Question about Gerbera Daisy seeds?
This is my first post, I hope I'm doing it right.
I saved the seeds from my Gerbera daisy plants, I have tried many times to get them to grow with no luck. Does anyone know how to start the seeds? Thank you.
Question about Gerbera Daisy seeds?
Don't plant to deep -- Keep soil warm - cover with thin plastic to get humidity until they sprout. Place them in sunny window. Presto.
Reply:Hi there and welcome!
Gerbera are easy to grow IF the soil is warm enough.
They are a warm climate plant, thus suited to warm growing conditions.
Also, are you sure you have seeds and not just the fluff?
Note: 1 inch is way too deep! You should barely cover with soil and keep lighly moist till germination.
Reply:You can either start them in the house or outside in your garden in the spring.Maybe your planting them to deep.1 inch should be deep enough. If you plant the outside just rake the soil and push the seed down enough so that it's covered. Good Luck!
Reply:Gerbera seeds need light to germinate. If they don't sprout for you within 20 days, they probably aren't viable. You can also start them in spring from cuttings or dividing the root stock. good luck.

What's the difference between a gerbera and an african daisy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerbera
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_dai...
You'll see pics of the two at the above sites. If you look at their latin names, they are very closely related, both being in the same family of plants, but they are different genus/species.
Many plants in the sunflower family look very similar, and it's hard to tell them apart unless you are a botanist or florist.
I have african daisies in my yard, and they make a nice ground cover that does well without a lot of watering.
I haven't grown gerberas, but that site mentions they are very popular as cut flowers, so they might make a nice addition to a flower garden.

I have a gerbera dasiy but one of thems droop and i can't get it but up. how can i help it?
If this is a cut flower, cut a bit of the end of the stem off, and put it in fresh, tepid water. It should perk up in no time; gerberas are very good about taking up water and standing upright again. If it's a plant, just be sure that the soil is moist, and hope for the best. Gerberas will tolerate dry conditions for a while, but like any other plant, they DO need moisture.
Good luck!

if it is a cut flower stick a smell piece of thin wire through the stem for support
Reply:Could have mites, take a close look at flower very small insects, treat with miticide.

Do gerbera daisies or even regular daisies smell good? What about hydrangea?
To each his own but I don't think daisies smell good. I really don't remember hydrangeas having a strong smell either way. If you want good smells choose roses, pansies, Hyacinth or any herbal plant like mints.
Do gerbera daisies or even regular daisies smell good? What about hydrangea?
daisies can be anything from completely odourless to quite foul smelling
Reply:For daisy-like flowers with a nice scent....try one of the new Echinaceas....like the 'Big Sky' Series.....I grew 'Sunset', ...amazing fragrance. Kind of pricy...but worth it. Hydrangeas have no scent, to my knowledge. A lovely low-growing shrub with an amazing fragrance is Daphne 'Carol Mackie'. Beautiful varigeated folaige, looks great even when not in bloom. If you could use a taller shrub, try Viburnum carlesii, it's spicy and powerful.

How can i cross pollinate my gerbera to produce the best seeds?
detailed description please
How can i cross pollinate my gerbera to produce the best seeds?
The two plants that you want to crossbreed just get the pollen from one of the plants that you want to crossbreed and rub it on the stigma of the other plant which is the female part, the stigma is a white long stem growing beside where the pollen is, you can do this with an artists brush, after 3 days you will notice the seed pods getting bigger and wait until they swell up and turn yellow and dry then take the seeds and plant them and depending on the plant in about a year you will have a new plant and it will probably flower. I hope this helps.

Could anybody help me with infos about growing Strelitzia and Gerbera?
Your Bird of Paradise benefits from frequent heavy feeding. They bloom best if crowded or pot bound. Your Gerbera likes mild frequent feedings and very well drained soil. RScott
Could anybody help me with infos about growing Strelitzia and Gerbera?
RScott is correct. Birds won't bloom until they are rootbound. Gerberas are easy, like being evenly moist, will take full sun, and enjoy feeding bi monthly. Ain't dirt grand?

What's wrong with my gerbera daisy plant??
I have a gerbera daisy plant that seems to be getting worse every day. I water it when it looks like its getting dry, but I'm not overwatering it. It doesn't look like it has any fungi or bug damage.
What are some tips to keep this plant alive as far as sunlight, how often it should be watered, any fertilizer, etc. Please help!! I dont want to lose another plant!
What's wrong with my gerbera daisy plant??
Gerbera should be planted in rich well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade (in hot areas). Full sun is best for more flowers production. Plant the crowns above the soil level, too deep will invite crown rot. .
Water early in the day and allow it to dry slightly between watering. Avoid overhead watering. Improper watering and poor drainage will lead to problems such as crown rot and poor flower production. Some sources say to fertilize monthly others every two weeks during the flowering period (spring and summer). Maintain the plant by removing spent flowers and old leaves.
Reply:The previous answer is very good. Also, gerbera daisies are native to South Africa, so keep that environment in mind when dealing with these nice bloomers.

My potted gerbera daisies are wilting and the leaves are turning grayish and brittle. Help!?
It has been pretty dry here in the Chicago area, but I water daily. I think it might be some kind of a disease but I sprayed a disease/insect treatment about a week ago and it seems to be spreading from one pot to another now. Any advice?
My potted gerbera daisies are wilting and the leaves are turning grayish and brittle. Help!?
When kept indoors, gerber daisies like bright, filtered light. If using them as an outdoor potted plant or a bedding plant, plant gerbs in a location with partial shade, preferably an area that is hidden from the hot afternoon sun. When the daisies are blooming keep soil moist, not wet. During non-blooming allow the top of the soil to become dry between waterings. If you are using your gerbs as a bedding plant be sure to plant them so the base of the plant is just above the soil line, as they are prone to crown rot. This can be taken care of by removing old leaves regularly to prevent fungus infections developing.The plants generally don’t do well indoors after their last blooms have gone. Good luck:)
Reply:maybe too much water. web site says to let soil top dry before watering

My gerbera daisies have all died. What did I do wrong?
I bought the plant with 3 full, colorful daisies. I somehow killed all 3 of the flowers. I just plucked the last one today. Will they come back or do I have to wait until next Spring? If there is a possibility of them coming back then what should I do? Thanks a bunch!
My gerbera daisies have all died. What did I do wrong?
Not to worry! Those should bloom again, all summer for you, but you might not have a bloom every day. As long as the leaves have not turned yellow or brown, or withered, you still have a healthy plant.
Things gerberas do not like are excessive cold, excessive heat or wet feet. They like to be watered but not left in a puddle for too long. Aside from that they are not temperamental. When the blooms start to fade, deadheading the flowers will encourage more blooming. Why, that is exactly what you did!
Good luck to you.

*I love gerbera daisies!!
*I think white or yellow would look good with the green

*see if the florist could dye your flowers to match the green that the bridesmaids are wearing. If so, maybe you could have a green and white bouquet
*as for the accent flowers, maybe chrysanthemums(sp??), alstromerias, peonies, or even roses may look nice with the daisies

Reply:For summer I would definitely do yellow, hot pink and white! That is very summery and cute!
Reply:Yellow
Reply:What are your wedding colors? Is it green? Pink and Green weddings are very pretty, you can add green mums for fillers and pink daisys and roses too. Orange and Yellow are also great colors. Check out www.onlinewholesaleflowers.com they have lots of flowers there A-Z... and if you are looking to do your own they also have great prices (with no shipping). Good Luck and Congrats!
Are Gerbera Daisies hardy flowers?
I live in Las Vegas. I don't really have a green thumb. I would, however, like to have some kind of potted flower on my Westward facing bedroom windowsill (inside) to brighten up my bedroom. These are my favorite flowers and I'd like to grow them in my room if it's possible.

They should do just fine in your bedroom. They don't need to be hardy. Since Las Vegas is dry, you may need to spray them about once a day with a light mist of water.
When you buy them, ask the clerk for some appropriate water soluble fertilizer and follow the directions. You can usually just feed it at half strength unless it's actively flowering in which case you can give it the regular amount. But don't give it too much fertilizer or you'll kill it. If you don't have a green thumb, it may be best to go with an organic fertilizer. They're not as concentrated and are less prone to mistakes. But just go half strength about every two weeks and you'll be fine. Just read the label for how often to fertilize.
When they don't have enough water, Gerbera flowers will lean over. Just give it a little water and it will perk right up. When the flower starts to change colour and either, just clip it at the base with a clean pair of scissors and a new flower should come up to take its place in no time.
Don't be scared of trying out a potted plant. All they really need is some water, a little food, sunshine and some attention from you. I'm sure your plant will do great.
Reply:My gerberas are perennial Zone 8. They prefer full sun or a south facing window and being planted in the ground as opposed to potting them. Try coleus. Super easy and colorful - not frost tollerant, but you can overwinter them inside. Root in water for perpetual plants.
Try impatiens, begonias, ferns, for inside interest in your west window. Have fun.

How do I remove mildew from the leaves of my Gerbera daisy plant and why did I get mildew in the first place?
Mildew should just rinse off with water on a plant. But....I would guess that it must be in too humid of an area if mildew is forming in the first place. Could it be a fungus?
How do I remove mildew from the leaves of my Gerbera daisy plant and why did I get mildew in the first place?
1. Use a general purpose fungicide for spraying on the leaves. Neem oil is good for this purpose.
2. Do not water the plants overhead. Only water in the soil, not on the leaves. Powdery mildew (the white mildew most likely on your daisy) happens when you water improperly. Most plants like to have water only in their soil, not on their leaves.
