Pegi, I have been babysitting a giant gerber daisy. It was given to me by an older couple who had no room for it in their apartment over the winter, along with their hybiscus. I thought the darn thing died because the plant looked terrible. It is in a hanging basket type pot and sitting on the floor of my greenhouse..Just too big to hang. It is more than 15 inches around. A real giant pain in the butt plant. Ugly, etc. Every day when I mist or water, I would just give it a drink. Soon it started to show buds in the center of all this ugly green leafy outside, it started to bloom and it has not stopped. I just cut a bunch of them and took them to the couple that gave it to me to keep because they thought it had died also. LOL Here is what it looks like now. Still ugly but blooming like crazy.
