where do you live
Good Evening Carole, Gerbera daisies are native to Africa. They are perennials but they are frost sensitive and anything under 30 degrees farenheit could kill them (depending on indiviual flowers). You can transfer them to a greenhouse for the winter, or bring them indoors (either way you would have to take them out of the yard and into a pot). Good Luck Carole. Thanks for asking HOMETALK for answers.
Well Hi Carole - Where do you live? This will tell us the type of winters you experience. Although Gerbera daisies are often grown as annuals, they are perennial in plant hardiness zones 8 to 11. Crown rotting is a common problem with these Daisies so if needed dig up and replant Gerbera daisy in autumn every other year, when weather and repeated irrigation causes the crown to sink under the surface of the soil. Digging carefully with a garden fork presents less chance of causing damage to the roots. Hope this helps
Only if you are in Zone 8-11, otherwise treat as an annual
