| Description |
Common name: Gerbera Daisy, Transvaal Daisy, African Daisy, Barberton Daisy Botanical name: Gerbera jamesonii - [ (GER-ber-uh) named after Dr. Traugott Gerber, German naturalist; (jay-mess-OWN-ee-eye) named after Robert Jameson, 19th century amateur botanist who discovered the species ] Family: Asteraceae or alternatively Compositeae - [ (ass-ter-AY-see-ay) the aster (daisy) family; formerly Compositae ] Origin: South Africa Huge brilliantly-colored flowers are the hallmark of this tender perennial. The spectacular flowers resemble large daisies with a golden center surrounded by one or more ranks of "petals" (actually ray flowers). In nature these ray flowers range in color from yellow to deep orange but selected varieties extend the color palette to include white, cream, pink, red, crimson and even violet. Both single and double forms are available. Flowers range in size from 2.5 to 4 inch diameters and are held on 12 to 18 inch stems. The coarse leaves are 8 to 10 inches in length and are arranged in a rosette forming low mounds that are about 12 inches wide. The gerbera daisy is native to the Transvaal region of South Africa.
