A closer look at Gerberas

It's one of the most popular flowers, considered a "happy flower" and comes in an amazing array of colors!

Some say the floral meaning of Gerberas stem from the general daisy family.  These meanings include innocence and purity.  Daisies are also a classic symbol of beauty.  However, the Gerbera variety holds an added meaning of cheerfulness which stems from the assortment of colors available.

On a regular basis, we are growing and are trying new gerberas so that we can offer the best varieties possible.  They come in a mini size, standard size and even in bicolors.  

It typically takes about 16 weeks to plant gerberas from seeds and for them to grow and fully bloom.  In addition, each one has its own unique name.

When it comes to making Gerberas last, bleach is your best friend!  We've seen it firsthand.  If a Gerbera is drooping over, a touch of bleach will most times add new life. 

Here's something else you may find interesting, we cut most of our flowers at a tight stage but Gerberas are different.  They must be cut at its finished stage of development.
