This is my first post, I hope I'm doing it right.
I saved the seeds from my Gerbera daisy plants, I have tried many times to get them to grow with no luck. Does anyone know how to start the seeds? Thank you.

Don't plant to deep -- Keep soil warm - cover with thin plastic to get humidity until they sprout. Place them in sunny window. Presto.

Hi there and welcome!
Gerbera are easy to grow IF the soil is warm enough.
They are a warm climate plant, thus suited to warm growing conditions.
Also, are you sure you have seeds and not just the fluff?
Note: 1 inch is way too deep! You should barely cover with soil and keep lighly moist till germination.

Gerbera seeds need light to germinate. If they don't sprout for you within 20 days, they probably aren't viable. You can also start them in spring from cuttings or dividing the root stock. good luck.

You can either start them in the house or outside in your garden in the spring.Maybe your planting them to deep.1 inch should be deep enough. If you plant the outside just rake the soil and push the seed down enough so that it's covered. Good Luck!
