A new gerbera variety ‘Yellow Wing’ was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI) in 2007. A cross was made between ‘Gold Finger’ with yellow and single and ‘Yellow Springs’ with yellow and spider in 2004. After investigation of the characteristics for 4 years (from 2004 to 2007), it was selected specially for the use of cut-flower. ‘Yellow Wing’ is a vigorous cultivar with yellow (RHS YO14B), green center and spider type. The flower diameter is 10.6cm. And inner ray floret and disc diameter is 2.83cm and 2.03cm, respectively. It produces a large yield with continuous supply of flowers and has adequate peduncle height and brilliant color. We believe that ‘Yellow Wing’ has a great potential for expanding cultivated area of domestic gerbera cultivar and increasing farmers-income.
