Growing Your Own Gerbera Daisies
Perennial in Warm Climates: Annual in Colder Climes.
Gerbera daisies thrive in USDA regions 9 and warmer. Suitable areas would include California, Arizona, Florida and Southern Texas. They prefer either full to partial sun and require moist, yet not wet, soil. Gerbera Daisies are prone to leaf rot: keep a watch out for this. You can propagate your Gerberas most effectively by root division or cuttings as they are not usually true to the parent plant and don't make a good candidate for starting from seed.
Some don't like it hot..
Gerbera daisies will stop blooming if temperatures rise too high, particularly at night.

Coloring your daisies
A cool little experiment
Gerbera daisies come in a wide range of colors, but these colors don't include any variations of blue or green. Does this mean that you can't have blue or green gerberas? No way! Just get yourself some cut, white gerbera daisies, place them in water and add a few drops of food coloring to the water. The gerbera daisies petals will absorb the food coloring and take on that color.This experiment was covered at PBSKids online.
Gerbera Daisies and Food
Checking out the Pink Cake Box's Blogwe found some BEAUTIFUL Gerbera Daisy festooned cakes and cupcakes. Who says Gerbera Daisys aren't romantic? Pink Cake Box can deliver to: New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania.

Gerbera Daisies Add A Retro Feel
Some Tips from Epicurious
Gerbera daisies are featured in a recent article on Entertaining published by epicurious.com. The tips are for a retro 1960s bridal shower party. Author Allison Hotchkiss' idea of a "Mod, Mod Bridal Shower" offers a step-by-step guide on how to make retro fabric-covered vases and use them as a centerpiece when displaying various height vases filled with Gerbera daisies or other brightly-colored blooms.I think Gerberas are perfect for a retro theme, they're big, bold and reminiscent of the floral patterns of the 1960s and 1970s.
Gerbera Daisy Weddings
Bright and Cheerful!
I've seen Gerbera Daisies used quite stunningly as bridal bouquets.. The colors are right - pinks, reds, whites, etc.. You can easily add a modern touch to your wedding when you accent it with Gerbera daisies. Flowers By Joanne (wedding floral specialists) have a stunning example of hand-tied gerbera daisy bouquets dominating a photograph of the ceremony.
