The Barberton Daisy is native to South Africa and therefore, alien to Western Alabama. Widely found in the grasslands and savannas of the region. The Barberton Daisy thrives in open grassy areas, along streams, or in meadows. It can tolerate a range of conditions, as well as various types of soil. These daisies do well in areas with a temperate environment, particularly with warm summers and light winters. They prefer well-drained soils and are often found in areas with a reliable water supply (but they can also tolerate drought).

The most dominant stage in the life cycle of the Barberton Daisy is the gametophyte. Gerberas live between 3 and 5 years on average and flower annually. Daisies reproduce naturally via their seeds and are pollinated by bees and other insects spreading around their pollen. Their fibrous root system allows them to soak up all the water and nutrients that surround them, leading to their resilient nature.
