Sweet Glow Gerbera is a compact perennial often grown as an annual with fuzzy dense foliage and vibrant flowers. Large, brilliant orange flowers with dense double layered petals with a yellow eye bloom from late spring until frost with regular deadheading. Prefers full sun and average well-drained soil. The Garvinea Series is hardier than most gerbera, being semi-evergreen and is highly resistant to disease and pests.
