Description
If you think all daisies are white and diminutive, you’ll be in for a surprise with the Barbeton daisy (Gerbera jamesonii). It is a sub-tropical plant that grows in South Africa. The name Barbeton is a reference to the region where it was found. The species name, jamesonii, is the name of the person who described it formally, Robert Jameson. It’s science’s version of first dibs.
The Barbeton daisy can reach heights up to two feet tall. While it comes in white, you’ll also find it in yellow, orange, red, and pink. As with many landscaping plants, there are many hybrids. It is a member of the Asteraceae or Compositae Family, also known as the Daisy or Composite Family. The group is one of the largest plant families in the world.
