Our Range
Written By Tom Walters

Gerbera jamesonii

The gerbera is an ornamental plant from the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Native to Southern Africa, the gerbera ranks as the fifth most popular flower in the world. Not only does it attract bees, butterflies and birds - it is also one of the best houseplants to remove common airborne pollutants.
