Hairy, stemless herbs. Perennials which can be treated like annuals{{RHS}}. Leaves may spread or come up from a basal rosette, are entire to dentate (or rarely pinnately lobed), petiolate, and hairy underneath{{RHS}}.
==Cultivation==
Most common are the ''[[Gerbera jamesonii|G. jamesonii]]'' hybrids, with extremely long-lasting cut flowers{{RHS}}. The flowers come in a wide range of pastel and basic bright colors. In frost-free areas they overwinter safely outdoors{{RHS}}. In cold-winter areas, keep at 5-7°C (40-45°F) and keep just moist{{RHS}}.
Tip: Scald tip of stem when cutting flowers for vase to make them last longer{{RHS}}.
===Propagation===
Plants may be divided in the spring{{RHS}}. Seed.
