The bold, daisy-like heads of Gerberas give bright pops of colour all the way from June to October and with the ground breaking Gerbera Garvinea® series they will even see you through to the following season. Unlike other tender Gerberas, the Garvinea® series are hardy perennials and will overwinter in milder parts of the UK with winter temperatures of -5 to 1. Flowering is abundant with large heads up to 9cm diameter held on upright stems above a neat rosette of dark green leaves. Wonderful for patio containers and borders. Their long bare stems also make superb bouquets. Gerbera Garvinea® 'Sweet Sparkle' boasts hot pink blooms all summer through until mid autumn. Height and spread: 45cm (18").

Feed and water gerbera plants regularly throughout the growing season. Cut back faded gerbera flowers from the base of the stem. In autumn, move containers of gerbera to a bright, frost free position for the winter. Reduce watering, keeping the compost just moist during winter months. Gerbera plants will require winter protection if grown in borders outdoors.
Pot up gerbera plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When they are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting into their final positions. Plant gerberas outdoors in fertile, well drained soil in sheltered, sunny borders. When growing gerbera in patio containers, use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
