Interesting information about the Gerbera or Barberton daisy that came from South Africa!

This humble wildflower from Mpumalanga changed the cut-flower industry forever. Here’s how the Gerbera took the world by storm. 🌼

The smaller flower in the photo is the Barberton daisy, Gerbera jamesonii, one of the parent species of the familiar Gerbera hybrid next to it.

Gerbera jamesonii grows naturally in the grasslands of Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Limpopo, and even features on Mpumalanga’s coat of arms.

In 1884, Robert Jameson, a Durban councillor, brought Gerbera jamesonii plants back from an expedition to the goldfields of Mpumalanga and donated them to the Durban Botanical Garden. By 1890, seeds had reached the Cambridge Botanic Garden, where curator Richard Lynch bred the first hybrid between G. jamesonii and G. viridifolia, starting a programme that produced more varied shapes and colours of flowers.

By the 1900s, commercial growers, especially in the Netherlands, began cultivating Gerberas on a large scale. It has since become one of the most popular cut flowers in the world and is the most successful cut flower of South African origin.

Our Gerbera jamesonii is currently flowering in Arid House 2. Be sure to check it out when you visit the garden!
