Mega Revolution™ Scarlet Red with Light Eye Gerbera

Mega Revolution™ Scarlet Red with Light Eye Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) brings Scarlet red with light eye daisy flowers to a compact, upright plant. The breeder describes it as the largest-flowered and best red variety in the series. The breeder lists the series for larger container programs, with plants that are manageable in size and carry very large blooms. ## Size and Use PanAmerican Seed lists a mature height of 6–10 inches and a spread of 12–14 inches for Mega Revolution™ gerberas, with an upright habit and a long production bloom window. The flowers add a bright focal point to larger patio pots and mixed containers; the species is also used for cut flowers and front-of-border color. The cultivar name and product code distinguish this color selection from other Mega Revolution™ forms. See the [breeder’s cultivar information](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/029005033033197/gerbera-mega-revolution-scarlet-red-with-light-eye/) for its listed identity and growing profile. ## Growing Conditions The breeder lists partial sun and hardiness zones 9a–10b for this selection. In garden use, give it a sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil and keep the crown just above the soil surface. The [RHS Gerbera jamesonii profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/70682/gerbera-jamesonii/details) describes the species’ daisy flowers, garden uses, and well-drained growing conditions. The [RHS gerbera growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/gerbera/growing-guide) recommends avoiding waterlogged compost and keeping water off the crown and foliage. In climates colder than its listed zones, treat it as seasonal bedding or move container plants to frost-free shelter. ## Maintenance Water when the growing medium begins to dry, then let excess drain away; sustained wetness can encourage crown or root rot. Remove fading flower stems at their base to keep the display tidy and encourage more blooms. These gerberas do not need routine shaping; in containers, protect them from winter cold and excess wet.
