Gerbera Everlast

[Lyn and Malcolm]

A much sronger plant than the normal Gerbera
They have been flowering since may when we bought them, a pink and a carmine.
Supposed to survive outside in winter, but ours are in pots, which are now in our conservatory, packed in with lots of other overwintering plants.
They are still flowering now.

VERY nice!
Ive grown so called everlasting Gerbera before but a) they had very small flowers and b) they didn't survive the very first winter so I didn't try them again.
Do you have a variety name for your one? If its stronger than the normal, its a real goodun!

[Lyn and Malcolm]

The flowers are smaller than the "normal" gerbera.

From the RHS website  Gerbera [Everlast Carmine] = 'Amgerbcar' (Everlast Series)

I wasn't prepared to leave them outside, hoping to get some babies from them, (for our own garden only) 
Will see how they fare at 9 to 10c, they have at least 4 flowers each at the moment.

Thanks for that name Malcolm.
Hope you manage to propagate babies. What method are you planning?

[Lyn and Malcolm]

Looks like I can take some divisions, will wait till the spring.
