[View the current Syngenta product information](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70019515). ## Garden Use Grow it in a patio container or as a seasonal accent near the front of a sunny or partly shaded border. The strong, upright stems and multi-blooming habit bring a clear focal color to mixed pots, while individual flowers can also be cut for indoor arrangements. ## Growing Conditions Use fertile, free-draining soil or potting mix and water when the surface begins to dry, keeping the crown from sitting wet. The [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/gerbera/growing-guide) advises good drainage, careful watering, and a warm sheltered position. Treat this tender selection as a summer bedding plant outdoors in cold-winter areas, or move a container indoors before temperatures fall near freezing. ## Maintenance Snip spent flower stems down at the base to encourage fresh stems and keep airflow around the foliage. Feed container plants during active spring and summer growth according to the product label.
