Gorgeous Gerberas
My very first plant, I was about 8 or 9 ish, was a simple, single red gerbera with a mini red teddy in it, and from that moment on I was hooked. It was the most beautiful flower I'd ever seen and to this day ot still remains one of my favourite. So let's talk about gerberas! Gerberas, aka Barberton daisies, are gorgeous perennial plants, growing about 30 to 45cm tall and wide. They come in a marvellous and stunning array of colours, and to be honest I dont think there's a single one I'd call boring or dull. Whether single or double, white, orange or red they are all incredible and just bring cheer to the soul. Not only do they come in a variety of colours, but also singles, doubles, their petals can be spidery, theres some that look like pom poms, and plenty of variations in between. Not necessarily the easiest plant to grow (nor the hardest!) Gerberas usually enjoy bright but indirect light, requiring at least 5 to 6 hour...
