Garvinea Sweet Frosting®
2 Litre Pot
Plant Highlights: Large white flowers with a soft pink flush • Exceptionally long flowering season • Strong garden performance • Excellent for borders and containers
Overview
Garvinea Sweet Frosting® is a long-flowering garden gerbera that combines large, daisy-like blooms with excellent outdoor performance. Its crisp white petals are delicately flushed with soft pink, surrounding a contrasting central eye that creates a fresh, elegant display from late spring through to autumn.
Supplied in a 2-litre pot, this compact perennial is ideal for brightening borders, patio containers and courtyard gardens. Unlike traditional indoor gerberas, Garvinea® varieties have been bred specifically for outdoor growing, producing a succession of flowers over many months when planted in a sunny or lightly shaded position.

Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered position. Good air circulation and free-draining soil help keep plants healthy and encourage continuous flowering.
Soil
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It also performs well in patio containers using a quality peat-free compost with good drainage.
Watering
Keep the soil evenly moist while plants establish. Once established, water during extended dry periods, particularly for container-grown plants, while avoiding waterlogged conditions.
Seasonal Care
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage the production of new blooms throughout the season. In colder areas, applying a mulch around the crown can provide additional winter protection.
