Color Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With so many bright and bold colors to choose from, you can\u2019t go wrong. Each gerbera daisy has either a black or greenish-yellow center giving them some dimension. From a simple white daisy<\/a> to a fun and festive hot pink<\/a>, there is something for everybody.<\/p>\n

\"Beautiful<\/p>\n

Low maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Daisies are easy to care for, another reason why we love them. Frist of all, they do not need time to bloom or open, they are shipped in special packaging to keep them separated and safe. A simple snip to the stems upon arrival and a cool, dry spot in a vase of cold water will facilitate a long and beautiful vase life. You can purchase straws which are an easy way to keep them alive even longer! Using these straws on their stems allow them the support they need when beginning to droop extending their vase life by a few days on average.<\/p>\n

How to incorporate gerbera daisies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Add white gerbera daisies to an all-white flower bouquet of roses<\/a> and peonies<\/a>. You can\u2019t go wrong with monochromatic looks! Another fun monochromatic arrangement includes hot pink roses<\/a>, ranunculus<\/a>, mini carnations<\/a>, and of course gerbera daisies. Mix and match gerbera colors for a single variety arrangement. The wonderful thing about these flowers is how well they match each other. Pair orange<\/a>, hot pink<\/a>, yellow<\/a>, and red<\/a> for a festive feel. Peach gerberas<\/a> make a wonderful addition to a soft and romantic palette. Pair with sunflowers for a stunning Sunflower and Gerbera Daisy bouquet<\/a>. <\/p>\n
