- Flower of the month: Gerbera
Gerbera
The gerbera’s strength is that it brings a big dose of cheerfulness into the home! Its fresh colours and playful shapes are suitable for every interior and every event, so gerberas are always the right choice. We would like to tell you more about this flower and provide some inspiration.
Colours and shapes
When you think of gerberas, you think of colour! The gerbera’s basic colours are white, red, yellow, pink, purple, orange and green. The flower is also available bicoloured, multicoloured and in various shades derived from the basic colours. The flower’s beautiful heart can be black or green. In other words: there is plenty of choice when it comes to colour.
Gerbera as birth flower
The fact that gerberas are considered birth flowers may be due to the fact that we often find them cheerful, they attract the birds and the bees, they represent innocence and purity, and they turn towards the sun. There are so many reasons why we love gerberas; maybe that is why we associate the flower with the birth of a baby.
