Gerbera
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.
At Shamrock plants, we grow a wide range of gerberas sourced from the best global breeders of gerberas. We currently grow 3 different size pots:
