Gerbera originates from South Africa and Asia, although today they are being widely cultivated in other parts of the world. The flower is available in all colors with exception of blue one and may be met either in standard or miniature sizes. There are more than 200 species of gerbera and breeders are developing many other variants. A recent breeders' development is the miniature-gerbera, commonly known as 'germini', which come in wide variety of colors but are smaller in size being much more appropriate for smaller floral arrangements and designs.Being almost unknown 20 years ago this plant is extendedly popular and in vogue. Some even associate it with the star sign Leo. The flower was first brought to Europe in the 19th century.Gerberas are available at any season of the year and cut flowers may last for 4-14 days.Gerberas are attractive blossoms that are widely used as mass flowers in designs and arrangements. Additionally the flower is extremely popular in nosegays, especially when one wants to get a retro 60's look. |

Miniature Gerbera |
A new development is the miniature Gerbera or Germini hybrids. They have sturdier stems to help the flowers stay upright. These are available in the same wide choice of colors, but are only two inches (5cm) across, and so more appropriate for smaller flower arrangements.
