Gerbera daisies aren’t frost hardy, so you should plant them outside once all chance of spring frost has passed.

The crown of a plant is the spot where the stems join the roots. It’s important to plant Gerbera daisies with the crown above the soil – this means you should be able to see the spot where the stems connect to the plant aboveground. You can read all about that here:
