Gerbera serrata

Gerbera serrata is characterized by its vividly colored daisy-like flowers, with serrated petal edges that may have influenced its name. This herbaceous perennial typically features a rosette of large, lobed leaves at its base. Thriving in well-drained soils and full sun environments, gerbera serrata also adapts to partial shade, where its striking blooms may still flourish but with milder vibrancy. The plant's robust nature allows it to resist pests and diseases, making it a hardy addition to both gardens and wild settings.
