Gerbera daisies come from South Africa and are part of the Aster family. Today, the varieties available at nurseries and seed catalogs are hybrids chosen for their bright, colorful flowers. There are four main types of Gerbera daisies: single, semi-double, double, and spider flowers.

In warm areas, Gerbera daisies can grow as perennial plants that return every year. In colder regions, they are treated as annuals. They are usually planted in garden beds or containers after the danger of frost is gone in spring.

For places with cold, snowy winters, it is best to buy nursery-grown starter plants.

Gerbera daisies grow at a steady speed. They usually bloom within 14 to 18 weeks and keep flowering all summer long.
