Gerbera Sweet Glow ('Garglow') (PBR) (Garvinea Sweet Series)
gerbera
If you’re after bold, cheerful colour that just keeps going, this gerbera really delivers with big, warm-toned blooms that lift...
Plant description
Strong, upright stems carry large, semi-double flowers in rich orange flushed with red, each one centred with a fresh green eye that adds contrast and keeps things looking crisp. The foliage stays low and neat, forming a compact base so the flowers really stand out above it. Gerbera 'Sweet Glow' is especially good where you want a clear focal point without fuss or floppiness.
It’s a great choice for sunny patios or cutting beds, as the flowers last well both on the plant and in a vase. Give it plenty of light, free-draining soil and keep it ticking over with regular deadheading, and it will reward you with a steady run of colour right through the warmer months.
