We grow standards and mini's - some florists seldom buy mini's and other florists use a lot of them.
They grow well - just as the standards, and often there are more flowers per plant than the standards, which helps make up for their lower price at the markets.
We only have about 8 colours of mini's - which seems to be enough for our small operation.
They are good to pick - most grow strong with tall stems. We do have two varieties that are not so wonderful and the stems tend to be short or wobbly - but all in all it was a good investment to put them in.

very pretty! gerberas are my favorite!!
What a treat to stumble upon this veritable gerbera feast, complete with charming anecdotes and lovely pictures.
Germinis are super cute and perky, with the added bonus of delightful names -- I love the fact that there are bright yellows called 'banana', whites dubbed 'husky' and 'robin' reds.
I'm thrilled that you have found this site, and enjoy the stories.
