Gerberas

by Dee Grandt | Apr 19, 2023 | Our Offerings

Gerberas are happy, cheerful, and charming flowers available in a wide range of colors and sizes. The variety of sizes and colors make them versatile enough to design with in any style, from full-size size arrangements or installations to detailed pieces like corsages and boutonnieres. It’s no wonder they are one of the top 10 best-selling flowers worldwide!

Len Busch Roses currently grow about 55 varieties (1.6 million stems annually) of standard, mini, piccolini, and pomponi gerberas right here in Plymouth, MN. One advantage of using a local grower like Len Busch is that your flowers are harvested just one or two days before you receive them, and they are not subjected to the rigors of distance shipping. We also keep them hydrated from harvest to delivery to ensure much stronger stems and healthier blooms than imported or shipped gerbs.

We believe in our gerberas so much that we added more greenhouse space to test new varieties and add more beds of the “fan-favorites” that sell out. We are super excited about how these varieties are performing and are gushing over some of the newbies!

We wanted to help inform you about the benefits of our gerberas and also keep you up-to-date with the most current colors and varieties we grow. Check out the gerberas guide, informational sheet and poster below to learn more!
