Cartwheel® Autumn Colors Gerbera

Cartwheel® Autumn Colors is an upright, seed-grown Gerbera jamesonii with large, semi-double blooms in distinctive seasonal hues. Syngenta describes the Cartwheel series as vigorous and multi-blooming, with longer flower life and reduced leaf stretch and yellowing compared with competing types. ## Garden Use Its larger, branching display makes this selection well suited to premium patio pots and container groupings. The [Syngenta product listing](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70019519) gives a garden height of 16–18 inches and width of 12–16 inches, and identifies it as an annual potted plant. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun or partial shade in a moist, well-drained medium rich in organic matter. In hot climates, afternoon shade can reduce heat stress. Keep plants supplied with moisture while they establish, but avoid water standing around the crown. 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/) summarize species-level light, soil, and watering needs. ## Maintenance Remove faded blooms and stems to keep the display tidy and encourage continued flowering. Water at the soil line, provide good air movement, and let the crown dry between waterings to help prevent rot.
