With its bold two-toned blooms and lush green foliage, this variety is part of the Majorette series known for strong stems, large daisy-like flowers, and early blooming.
Gerbera Majorette Blazing Eyes features large radiant petals in a striking blend of red-orange with a blazing yellow eye. This dynamic color combination makes it a must-have for anyone wanting a tropical pop of color in their summer garden or flower arrangements.
Why Choose Majorette Gerberas?
Unlike some Gerbera daisies that are sensitive and tricky to start, the Majorette series is bred for reliable performance. Majorette Blazing Eyes blooms early and has a uniform habit, making it ideal for both hobby gardeners and professional cut flower growers. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil and will bloom continuously with deadheading.
Gerberas from this series produce blooms on strong stems, which are perfect for cutting. That means you can bring the joy indoors, too — these flowers have long vase life and pair beautifully with zinnias, lisianthus, and cosmos in arrangements.

How to Grow Gerbera Majorette Blazing Eyes from Seed
Starting Gerbera daisies from seed is an exciting and rewarding project. Here's how to do it successfully:
-
Use a fine, well-draining seed starting mix and surface-sow the seeds, as they need light to germinate.
-
Mist lightly and cover with a humidity dome or clear plastic to retain moisture.
-
Keep temperatures around 70–75°F (21–24°C) and maintain even moisture without overwatering.
-
Expect germination in 10–14 days. Once seedlings have 2–3 true leaves, pot them up into individual containers.
-
Harden off young plants before transplanting outdoors once all danger of frost has passed.
In most climates, these beauties grow best as annuals, but they can be perennial in zones 8–11 with winter protection.
