Description
Interesting Facts about Gerber Daisies:
-The flower is named after the German physician and botanist Trauggott Gerber, who did most of his work in the 1700s.
-Although this is surprising to some people, the plant actually originated in Africa, and if you go there today you can still find varieties of the flower growing in the wild.
-There is no such thing as a blue Gerbera daisy. They are grown in colors that include almost every color of the rainbow, except for the color blue. If you find a Gerbera daisy that is blue in color, it is certainly an artificially created flower.
-The width of the petals can be either small or large, depending on the variety. Some flowers are 3 inches wide, while others can be 5 inches or wider, so the size of the Gerbera daisy varies greatly depending on the type you’re buying.
-If you love cut flowers in vases and bouquets but get frustrated because they never seem to last as long as you’d like, you should definitely consider growing Gerbera daisies. When it comes to cutting them and placing them in containers, the Gerbera daisy lasts much longer than almost any other plant you might consider, and gardeners always appreciate this long display life.
-As far as flowers that are used in vases and containers go, the Gerbera daisy is the fifth-most used one. They come behind roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, and tulips, most likely because of how beautiful they are and how long they last – up to 14 days.
-The Gerbera daisy is a very smart flower; in fact, throughout its lifespan it has developed a unique mechanism that protects it from various fungal diseases, which means this is one ailment you won’t have to worry about when you plant these types of flowers.
-The Gerbera daisy comes from a very large family, as there are currently more than 40 species of the plant worldwide. If you like the flower but love variety as well, these are definitely flowers you’ll want to consider growing.
-Although its look can fool you into thinking otherwise, the Gerbera daisy is actually a group of hundreds of flowers of all different sizes. It may look just like one big flower head, but it is actually a cluster of hundreds of blossoms, which contributes to its dense, full look and therefore its beauty.
-The Gerbera daisy is actually used in many scientific studies. For instance, the flowers have been used in the past as model organisms when flower formations have been studied.
-The Gerbera daisy has health benefits as well as beauty. When it’s nighttime, the flower produces oxygen and gets rid of toxins that are found in the air. Some people even place one of these plants on their nightstand, because it does a great job helping them sleep.
