Gerbera Facts

Gerbera is a variety of daisies and a colourful one at that. They are also called Gerber, Barberton, or Transvaal daisies. Many backyard gardeners love this flower for its vibrant colours and how it adds personality to any space.

Gerbera daisies belong in the genus Gerbera, a member of the Asteraceae or Daisy family. They are native in South African but can also be found in South America and Asia. Gerberas come in various colours, such as yellow, orange, pink, lavender, and white.
