Gerbera jamesonii is a perennial but often grown as an annual. Clumps of tongue-shaped, lobed, 10 in. long leaves send up slim yet sturdy stems to 1.5 ft. high, each bearing one slender-petaled, 4-5 in. daisy.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
