a gerbera daisy

I know nothing about gerbera daisies, except they're full of charm. So I brought one home from the supermarket the other day, and put it in the front window. It wilted sadly in a short time.


Since they're not hardy in our zone, I'll just keep it in the house.

  1. I bought one for Mrs B about 3 years ago; it was beautiful, but hasn't flowered since. Personally, I think it should be sacrificed to the compost!

  2. I bought one from my local nursery, which had them growing outside profusely along their house, brought it home, planted it, and it died immediately. Inside sounds like a good idea. Good luck! :-)

  3. Gerberas are so pretty and I've had variable fortune with any that I've had, some behaving like yours did and then dying and some that lasted for a few months. I believe I discarded them after a year when they didn't re-flower. I haven't had one for some years now.

  4. Now I'm beginning to wonder why the popularity....
