This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

• Position: full sun
• Soil: moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average to fast
• Flowering period: May to October
• Hardiness: frost hardy (may need protection in winter)
  
  Large, radiant, semi-double blooms of dark, warm orange make Gerbera ‘Sweet Glow’ a long season contender for pots and the cut flower garden. One of the hardiest Gerberas, it has the potential to provide dazzling blooms over three seasons but we’d recommend a winter retreat to a cool glasshouse if excessive cold is forecast.
  
  
• Garden Care: Water freely when actively growing, but avoid excessive winter wet. In colder areas grow in a pot and move to an sheltered spot when the temperatures drop.
