Jaguar™ Red Gerbera

Jaguar™ Red is an upright Gerbera jamesonii selection with red daisy-like flowers on compact plants. Syngenta lists an 8–10 inch garden height and 6–8 inch width for the Jaguar series, with flowering from mid-spring into summer and short stems that suit container production. ## Appearance and use The saturated red flowers stand out in patio pots, small seasonal beds, and the front of a border. A group of plants creates a bold patch of color, while individual stems can be cut for simple arrangements. Its compact size helps keep the flowers prominent without needing a large planting area. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep moisture even during active growth, but allow the crown to dry between waterings and avoid waterlogged soil. In hotter climates, afternoon shade can reduce stress and help the foliage stay attractive. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower stems down to a leaf or developing bud to support continued flowering. Check pots regularly for moisture and protect plants from frost if you are keeping them outdoors beyond the warm season.
