    Ideally, Gerbera daisy seeds are sown immediately after maturing. They lose viability in storage. So buy seed from a reliable company to ensure freshness. It takes 1-2 weeks for seeds to germinate and 10-12 weeks from sowing until they are ready to plant outside, when 4-5 inches tall.

    No, flowering hormones inhibit rooting. You will have to catch the plant when it isn't flowering and take a vegetative cutting, or plant a seed from the flower after the pot matures on the plant.

    Gerbera daisies really do like full sun, which is usually defined as at least 6 hours per day. There's a chance the plants will survive with only 3 hours of light, but they'll probably get leggy and pale and not bloom very well. You can read more about Gerbera daisy requirements here:

    You can plant gerbera daisies anytime once your location is free from the danger of frost and then just consistently deadhead spent blooms to keep the continually producing more blooms all summer. Gerberas respond great to deadheading. This article may help:
