Leah Junkins –
I was given the Southern Living Orange Garden Jewels Gerbera Daisy as a birthday gift. I will just say it is the gift that keeps on giving. Even with the coldest winter we have had in a long time in zone 8b, this plant survived and thrived. Planted in April 2020, it bloomed throughout the summer and fall and even a few in the winter! Today, it has more than 10 gorgeous blooms (March 2021). Absolutely love this beautiful daisy and am waiting for other colors to be available so I can purchase more for my garden!
