Bengal™ Rose with Eye Gerbera

Bengal™ Rose with Eye is an upright, seed-grown Gerbera jamesonii selected for rose-pink flowers and a bold, high-impact display. Syngenta lists it as an early, uniform flowering Bengal variety with large blooms on short, sturdy stems. ## Garden Use The compact plant is suited to containers and patio displays, where its flowers can be enjoyed close up. The [Syngenta product listing](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70035518) gives a garden height of 10–12 inches and a width of 7–9 inches, and identifies the Bengal line as a potted annual. ## Growing Conditions Grow in full sun or partial shade. Gerberas perform best in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; in hot climates, protect plants from harsh afternoon sun. Keep water available while plants establish, but avoid persistently soggy soil around the crown. See the [North Carolina Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gerbera-jamesonii/) and [Clemson Extension care guide](https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/gerbera-daisy/) for species-level growing guidance. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower stems to keep the plant tidy and support continued bloom. Let the crown dry between waterings and provide good drainage to reduce the risk of crown and root rot.
