GERBERA DAISIES

About Gerbera Daisies: Gerberas are a variety of daisies, have large flowering heads, and come in a vibrant range of colors such as bright pink, snow white, sunny yellow, and ruby red. They are native to Africa, tropical Asia, and South America. These flowers bring cheer and a sunny disposition to any setting or occasion.

Arranging and Caring for Gerberas:
• Gently remove the protective cup from each blossom. The petals will gradually unfold to their full state. Fill the vase with approximately 5 to 6 inches of water depending on its height.
• The fuzzy stems of these flowers decompose quickly in deep water. Use clean water and replenish the flower food every 1-2 days.
• You can prevent gerberas from bending at the neck by inserting floral wire in the stem.
• To make sure gerbera stems remain straight, support the flower heads when conditioning in water. This can be done by placing a piece of chicken wire over a deep bucket, so that the heads are supported and the stems hang free into the water. Let the flowers hydrate this way for several hours.
