Care for Gerbera Daisy
I received a plant called Gerbera for a gift and I don't know how to best care for it - can it go outside?
Gerbera daisies are great plants for the in-ground or container garden. They prefer full to part sun and well-drained soils. This is a perennial hardy to zone 8 but grown as an annual in colder climates. You can try over-wintering the plant indoors as a houseplant. Move the plant indoors before the first fall frost. Grow in a sunny location and water thoroughly whenever the soil starts to dry.
