A real firecracker! The daisy-like, semi-double flowers of ‘Sweet Sunset’ has bright colours in abundance, and over a long season, making this a great candidate for pots and the cut flower garden. The rich orange-yellow and darker orange-brown centres contrast vividly with the verdigris of basal leaves, supporting the long stems that make this Gerbera a hot contender for your garden.
Water freely when actively growing, but avoid excessive winter wet. In colder areas grow in a pot and move to an sheltered spot when the temperatures drop.
