Gerbera 'Mega Revolution'

The 'Mega Revolution' series takes the popular Revolution Gerbera to the next level with flowers that are at least 20% larger than the standard series. These massive, daisy-like blooms appear on compact, uniform plants with short stems and dark green foliage. 'Mega Revolution' is also one of the earliest to flower, giving growers a jump on the season. Plants reach about 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide, making them ideal for 6-inch and larger pots, as well as for cut flower production where stem length and flower size are paramount.

Growing Conditions

  • Partial Sun Light: Partial sun; prefers bright, indirect light or morning sun with afternoon shade.
  • Moderate Moisture Water: Moderate; keep evenly moist but not soggy. Water at the base to avoid crown rot.
  • Height Height: 2 feet or less (typically 12–14 inches).
  • Spread Spread: 1 foot or less.

Care Tips

Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves promptly. Provide excellent air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and botrytis. Fertilize every 2 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength. In colder climates (zones 3–7), grow as an annual or overwinter indoors in a bright, cool location (45–50°F). In zones 8–11, it can be a short-lived perennial.

Uses

Perfect for large-container specimens, premium potted plant programs, and high-quality cut flowers with impressive stem length and flower diameter. The early flowering trait allows for earlier market availability.
