Top Tips

Remove faded flowers to ensure a continuous supply of coloured flowers.

Care Information

Plant in full sun and protected from cold winds.
Gerberas prefer fertile, well-drained, moist soil that has been dug deeply.
Individually knock out each plant from its container. Look at the roots � if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the rootball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil.
Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the rootball.
When planting set the crowns slightly above the soil level then firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas.
Water in well to settle the soil and prevent drying out.
