Gerbera (Transvaal Daisies)

Gerbera, commonly known as Transvaal daisies, bring vibrant colour to gardens while supporting UK wildlife. Their large, open blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, providing a rich source of nectar. These flowers thrive in sunny spots and well-drained soil, making them a practical choice for borders and containers.

The bright petals of Gerbera act as a beacon for beneficial insects, aiding biodiversity. Their long flowering season, from spring to autumn, ensures sustained food for pollinators. By planting Gerbera, gardeners can create a welcoming habitat for wildlife while adding striking visual appeal.
