Variety traits
Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hook. f.
The diameter of the flower head is a key breeding and commercial trait in gerbera, varying from 2.5 to 16 cm depending on the cultivar type.
In the reference 26 varieties crop Barberton daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.
According to UPOV guidelines, inflorescence diameter is measured at full bloom with the ray florets positioned horizontally. Depending on the size of the flower head, varieties are categorized into small-flowered (mini-gerbera), ranging from 2.5 to 10 cm, and large-flowered, with diameters ranging from 10 to 15 cm or more.
The size of the inflorescence determines the crop's use: large-flowered forms are the standard for professional floristry and cut flowers, while compact small-flowered types are used as pot plants or for mixed bouquets. Achieving maximum flower head size requires intensive light and balanced nutrition, as light deficiency or excess nitrogen negatively affects the commercial quality of the flower.
