    I have conflicting views on pruning Gerbera daisies. Utube videos say to cut stems back to base of plants while this other sites say cut an inch down on stem from spent flowers. Please help clarify.

    They may be drooping in the heat of the day because they are newly planted and not established yet. Morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal.

    Improve watering conditions. Too much or too little water is a common cause of drooping or wilting. Water plants once early in the day, soaking the soil, but let the plant and soil surface dry off before nighttime to reduce the chance of disease. Wet soil also causes root death.

    You can shade them during the hot portion of the day to reduce stress on the plants.

    The leaves are considered edible, but have caution, and know that you consume these at your own risk. Some people are allergic to these plants, and it can cause death in certain cases, but with people that have no reaction, it is deemed edible.

    Again, you consume these at your own risk, but it is not uncommon for the leaves of these to be consumed.

    It will survive those temperatures just fine. You may put them in the ground. If you are concerned, then mulch them some to help.

    Gerbera daisies are from South Africa. They will not survive the winter outdoors except in zones 10 and warmer. You can bring them indoors over winter but they aren't likely to bloom without supplemental lighting. Many gardeners grow these as annuals. If you bring them indoors, provide them with a sunny window and give them less water than in summer.

    The Gerbera daisy will be hardy in your area. They may sustain some damage on the coldest of nights, but that will not harm them at all. They will come back from near death from slightly cooler areas than yours.

    The statice plants are annuals, and will likely self seed. If they don't, then you will have to re-seed each year, since they will die off completely.

    I believe that you will find these articles useful:
