ColorBloom™ Bicolor Orange Yellow Gerbera

ColorBloom™ Bicolor Orange Yellow is a compact Gerbera jamesonii selected for two-tone orange and yellow flowers. Ball Seed identifies the selection as PAS1122575 and lists an upright plant about 4–6 inches tall by 6–8 inches wide, with partial-sun exposure and a long flowering season. [Ball Seed product information](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=029008447035393) also describes the ColorBloom series as suited to quart and 11-centimeter retail pots. ## Garden Use Use this low, bright selection in a small patio pot, windowbox, or the front edge of a seasonal container. The compact foliage leaves the flowers visible, making it useful as a color accent indoors in a sunny spot or outside during warm weather. ## Growing Conditions Provide bright light or partial sun and a well-drained potting mix. Keep the root zone lightly moist but never waterlogged; the crown should remain above the soil surface. The [RHS gerbera guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/gerbera/growing-guide) recommends free drainage and careful watering to reduce crown rot. This tender selection is best protected from cold and brought indoors before frost. ## Maintenance Remove finished flower stems at the base to encourage a fresh display. Water the mix when it starts to dry and feed container plants lightly during active growth.
