Gerbera Flowers

Gerberas belong to the sunflower family, and come in countless colours and varieties. They can last up to two decades in the soil, and remain fresh and vibrant for up to 14 days when cut. This combination of colour, longevity, consistency and variety make them a very popular addition to most florist’s flower arrangements, alongside roses and lilies. They are the 5th most commercially sold flower by florists worldwide, and very similar to Sunflowers and Daisies.
