Welcome to Our Site
WA Gerbera Society Inc.
Here you’ll find helpful tips and information to get the very best from your Gerbera plants. Whether you’re just starting out or have been growing Gerberas for years, we’re here to support you in achieving healthy plants and beautiful blooms.
If you’re new to Gerberas, it’s good to know that not all plants are the same. Many found in shops today have been grown under artificial conditions, sometimes cloned or modified, and these often struggle in Perth’s hot summer weather from November to April.
The good news is that the plants available through the Society and our experienced growers are different. They’re sun-hardened, well-suited to Perth’s climate, and are the much-loved ‘classic’ Gerberas that have thrived in Western Australia for generations.
We’d love for you to join us! Whether you’re here to learn, share, or simply enjoy the beauty of Gerberas, the W.A. Gerbera Society is a welcoming community for all who appreciate these wonderful flowers.
