Jaguar™ Salsa Mix Gerbera

Jaguar™ Salsa Mix is an F1 seed gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) in Syngenta Flowers’ compact Jaguar series. Its breeder page identifies the upright, 8–10-inch-high by 6–8-inch-wide plant and mid-spring-to-summer flowering period; the 2023 Griffin catalog describes Salsa Mix as a combination of Deep Orange, Red, Yellow, and Yellow Dark Center ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70036932); [Griffin catalog](https://www.griffins.com/pdf/catalogs/2023-Griffin-Seed-Plant-Catalog.pdf)). ## Seasonal display Use the mix in patio pots or compact container groupings for a coordinated range of warm flower colors. Jaguar’s short stems and compact growth are intended for small pots, with three to five blooms at the first flush. The breeder lists flowering from mid spring through summer. ## Growing conditions Place containers in full sun, part sun, or part shade. Gerberas grow best in fertile, moist, well-drained soil; set the crown level with the soil surface and avoid waterlogged conditions, which can cause root rot ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gerbera-jamesonii/)). ## Maintenance Remove spent flower stems at the base to maintain a neat display and encourage more blooms. Water when needed to keep the soil moist, then let excess drain freely.
