Gerbera Daisies in Delaware: Treat as Tender Annuals

Gerbera daisies are native to tropical Africa and Asia. In Delaware (zone 7a), they are not winter‑hardy. Grow them as annuals or in containers brought indoors to a sunny window for winter. In a hot summer, they can decorate a patio, but they'll die at first frost.

Best Practice

• Plant in pots with well‑drained mix.
• Fertilize regularly during bloom.
• Before frost, move indoors; keep barely moist, no fertilizer until spring.

Enjoy them as seasonal color, not permanent perennials.
