PROPAGATION:

If looking to grow gerbera daisies from seed, you can start seeds indoors approximately 12 to 18 weeks before the last frost date in your region. It's a good idea to sow seeds in peat or paper pot

The amount of fertilizer your gerbera daisies need depends on the quality of your soil. To keep the flowers blooming all summer long, a monthly feeding with a water-soluble fertilizer is recommended.
