'Lollipop' Daisies Have Two Layers Of Petals To Add Extra Sweet Colors To Your Yard

Looking to add some color to your garden this year? I hear you. There's nothing better to see than gorgeous flowers welcoming you home every day. And to accomplish that, you can opt to grow some pretty daisies like the "lollipop" variety.

They'll definitely bring on a smile every time you feast your eyes on them. And you'll be the envy of your neighbors as well.

Gerbera daisies are those types of flowers that come in an abundance of beautiful colors.

And the "lollipop" variety definitely lives up to that moniker. See what I mean?

Their large blooms and eye-catching color makes them a stand-out in any garden.

This hybrid flower comes with a layer of small petals along the interior of the blooms.

These smaller petals oftentimes have a darker shade than the larger back petals and this gives the flower such a pretty and unique appearance from other daisy varieties.

It's like two colors for the price of one.

Even though Gerbera daisies are perennials they are more delicate than other flowers. They usually last only one growing season.

So make the best of them while you can.

They are better grown out of seedlings instead of the seed.

This way will help you enhance your landscape quicker and easier rather than waiting six months to see results.

You will need to mix your soil so it contains sandy soil and compost.

And then make sure you plant each Gerbera daisies at least 12 inches apart.

During the blooming phase, you'll want to fertilize your flowers at least once every two weeks.

You can use the same fertilizer that you applied in the beginning.

For best growing results make sure your daisies get at least six hours of full sun every day.

Try to aim for morning or early afternoon sun only.

Now you have yet another gorgeous flower to add to your garden collection.

I, too, hope I'll get to plant these beautiful blooms in my garden one day.
