ColorBloom™ Yellow with Dark Eye Gerbera

ColorBloom™ Yellow with Dark Eye brings vivid yellow petals and a dark center to a compact, upright gerbera. This small-pot selection adds a bright focal point to patio containers or window boxes. [Ball Seed identifies the exact PAS1249240 selection, its 4–6 inch height, 6–8 inch width, and partial-sun exposure](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=029008447006080). ## Growing Conditions Use a pot with open drainage and keep the mix moist without allowing water to collect around the roots. ColorBloom is bred for compact quart-sized pots, and this selection has slightly smaller flowers than others in the series. Outdoor flowering varies with climate. [Iowa State Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/faq/how-do-i-care-gerber-daisy-purchased-flowering-potted-plant-florist) explains potted gerbera care. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower stems at the base to keep the plant tidy and leave room for new buds. Gerberas also work well as cut flowers. [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gerbera-jamesonii/) recommends deadheading and container use.
