The Best Place to Purchase Gerbera Daisies

Types

• There are 30 species of gerbera daisies. In the United States, the most common gerbera is the Transvaal daisy. You can easily purchase these at your local nursery.

Considerations

• While the Internet is a convenient shopping tool, purchasing live flowers online is not recommended. If, however, you're looking to plant gerbera seeds for your garden, then there are a number of trusted websites selling the more obscure European, African and Asian species (see Resources). Seeds of the Transvaal can be purchased at your local hardware store.

Benefits

• The primary benefit of purchasing your gerbera growing gear locally is that the staff at your nursery can advise you regarding the proper type of fertilizer to use in your home climate. If you wish to buy live specimens, then you can inspect the flowers for signs of pests and diseases before purchasing.
