ColorBloom™ Bicolor Red White Gerbera

ColorBloom™ Bicolor Red White is a compact Gerbera jamesonii with contrasting red and white flowers. Ball Seed identifies the selection as PAS1122581, lists its upright habit and 4–6 inch height by 6–8 inch width, and notes that [the ColorBloom series](https://info.ballseed.com/webtrackplantinfo.aspx?ENV=P&phid=029008447033451) is designed for small retail pots and bright indoor or patio displays. ## Garden Use Place this compact accent in a quart-size pot, windowbox, or the front of a seasonal container where its two-tone blooms can be seen up close. It can also add a small burst of color to a warm-season border, with protection from cold weather. ## Growing Conditions Give it partial sun or bright indoor light and use fertile, well-drained potting mix. Water when the surface begins to dry, keeping the crown out of standing moisture. The [RHS gerbera guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/gerbera/growing-guide) recommends drainage and restrained winter watering to prevent rot. This tender selection should be moved under cover before frost. ## Maintenance Remove spent stems at the base to keep the plant tidy and encourage new flower stems. Apply a light container feed during active growth and avoid overwatering in cool weather.
