Gerbera

gerbera Daisy like blooms grow to 5 inches wide with layers of thin petals.

From sunshine yellow to cerise pink, gerberas are a simple statement of happiness. Endemic to the sunny lowlands of South Africa, these versatile flowers unsurprisingly embody the light-hearted affability for which antipodeans are renowned. The combination of bright colour and well-defined petals means these Transvaal daisies look as sensational in arrangements as they do accompanied only by a little bear grass. Rich in the chemical compound coumarin, gerberas have a sweet scent reminiscent of newly mown lawns.

Through selective breeding Gerbera are available in many sizes and colours.
