Gerberas are prized cut flowers and garden perennials, second only to roses in global floral commerce. Native to South Africa, Madagascar, and Asia, these daisy-like blooms come in nearly every color except true blue. Their layered petals radiate from a prominent central disc, and their long, sturdy stems make them ideal for arrangements. They symbolize cheerfulness, innocence, and joy across many cultures.
