Gerbera × hybrida 'Revolution' series
The ‘Revolution’ series is an F1 seed-raised pot gerbera bred for uniform timing. Plants are compact and ideal for 5 in containers. Flowering is synchronized across colors which makes displays even. Home gardeners can expect steady bloom through warm months with sun and regular feeding. Plants prefer well-drained potting mix and careful watering at the soil line. In most of North America this series is grown as an annual or seasonal patio plant.
