Gerberas not blooming - help please?

I grew Gerberas by seed this year. I started them under lights back in February, so they are plenty mature. They are outside in full sun now. However, I have not seen one bloom yet! Anyone know what the problem could be? What are their fertilizing requirements? I've never grown them before. Thanks for your help,

Deanna

I also planted gerberas from seed under lights. Mine aren't blooming yet either. I do have some blooming that I over wintered in my greenhouse though. Be paient,everything seems to bloom earlier when it is grown by prof.it bugs me that my flowers are behind the ones in the stores, oh well!
