Where can i get bright coloured gerbera seeds in london?
The only colour they don't come in is blue.Don't know London that well,except the usual tourist places,
I come from Oo- Arr Devon!!!!
You can get them online from either of the following seed companies

or

They are an annual, which means they flower then die in one season.They don't like cold/frost. So a nice sunny summer is what you need.

How do you save the seeds from a gerbera daisy plant?
Gerbera daisies will "go to seed" on their own. Both the plants and the cut flowers will do this. Simply wait until this occurs, and then gather/collect the seeds. It does take a while for this to happen because Geberas are long-lived flowers. When they do "go to seed" you should collect the seeds quickly. They have fluffy little "parachutes" (smaller than a dandelion), so they will fly around all over the place with any sort of breeze or draft.

How can gerbera daisy last longer?
for wedding boutique. the wedding is on june 2006.
How can gerbera daisy last longer?
Good Luck these beauties are very picky and prone to rot from overwatering and die from lack of water easily. If it is for a wedding why not buy them from a vender just before the wedding and enjoy them while they last.

Need Gerbera daisies for August 31st?
I need Gerbera Daisy blooms for my sisters wedding and wonder when I should plant them so they will be ready for the wedding. Thanks for any advice you can give.
Need Gerbera daisies for August 31st?
You should have planted them last year! If you start from seed... you are not going to get a sturdy enough flower. If you buy them from a garden center, you are going to have to plant tons of them to get enough flowers.
I think your best bed at this point would be to buy them from the florist. It may actually be cheaper than buying all those plants!
Good luck! They are beautiful. They are my FAVORITE flowers! I have a ton in my backyard! (But I am sorry. I wait for them all year long.... so I am going to be selfish and not share!)
Reply:Never heard of Gerber daisies blooming in August. I thought they were finished in May or at the latest June. 'course that depends upon where you live I suppose.
Reply:you can buy them at home depot garden center////you may not have exactly what you want if you start by seed

Growing gardenias and gerbera in the midewest?
Can it be done? How to cultuvate?
Growing gardenias and gerbera in the midewest?
Both like full sun. Gardenias like acidic soil, use Epsom Salts and coffee grounds, inexpensive, effective addition. Miracle gro is always a standard for any plant.
Gerberas. Glorious. They can be potted or stuck in the ground. Quite hardy, but hard frosts will kill off folliage. They should come back as the weather warms. If you want to collect seeds to start, they need sunlight to germinate and should be used within a week or two. Older seeds aren't as viable. good luck.
Reply:Gardenias are really tough to grow in the midwest.....If you are in Zone #5 I recommend trying them inside first. By gerbera, I suspect you mean gerber daisies????...again a tough one. I've never seen them get the really long stems they are known for when grown in the midwest. I really like gardenias and substitute Hydrangea for them. They grow really large and thrive in the midwest, but remember, most species only bloom on second year wood. Instead of Gerber daisies, try any other variety....good luck
Reply:i cultivate gerbils!!!!!
Reply:My Gerbera were beautiful last year, though I had them in pots. They are only annuals in the midwest, as the winters are too cold. You could bring them in in the fall. A freak frost killed mine before I could get them inside.
Gardenias....I"d do them in pots, also. Way too cold. I've never had much luck with them. Too finicky for me.

How do you get gerbera daisies to bloom?
Gerbera daisies need to be fertilized. I use Osmocote, which is a slow-release fertilizer, available at Wal-Mart and most garden centers.
They also need plenty of sun and light soil, well areated soil. Gerbera daisies will not bloom in dense or depleted soil.
This link is a bit technical (for growers and quantities) when it comes to fertilizing, but it gives good recommendations for light, soil, pH and optimum temperatures. You can use Osmocote according to the label directions in lieu of the instructions in this site. Miracle-gro will work if you fertilize every other time you water.
Be very sure your Gerbera's do not dry out and don't keep them too wet. The watering is important, but the plants will tell you when they need it. Just watch their leaves.
I hope this helps. I love my Gerbera's and spent several years getting it right. I have several pots of them blooming right now in zone 9.

Reply:Tips for Growing Healthy Gerber Daisies
To do their best and bloom the longest, be sure gerber daisies receive lots of light. They will need a sunny location and will even profit from additional artificial light.
Reply:My daughter bought me one last year. I just planted it out in my flower bed where it gets plenty of sun. It had returned this year and has been blooming for a week or so now............
