Gerbera 'Garsunset' ~ Garvinea® Sweet Sunset Gerbera

Sweet Sunset Gerbera is a compact perennial often grown as an annual with fuzzy dense foliage and vibrant flowers.  Large, bright orange flowers infused with a yellow central glow and dense layered petals bloom from late spring until frost with regular deadheading.  Prefers full sun and average well-drained soil.  The Garvinea Series is hardier than most gerbera, being semi-evergreen and is highly resistant to disease and pests. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance.  Drainage is important- overly moist soils can lead to stem and root rot, powdery mildew, gray  mildew, or anthracnose.  Potential pests include whiteflies, aphids, thrips, and spider mites.

 LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Tickseed, Speedwell, Blanket Flower
