    Started indoors in seed starting mix. Very easy to harden off in spring. Great germination and growth!

    Daisy Seeds (African) - Mixed

    We planted this tucked between a large boulder and a brick walkway and it looked adorable. Everyday there was at least one bloom and a new one was opening before one had died. I don't know if deadheading is necessary, I did sometimes. It got full morning, south facing sun in zone 5B and then around 7 or 8:00 when the sun went behind the trees and there was shade, the flowers closed for the evening. On rainy, overcast days, the flowers remained closed as well. Because of that, they can't be cut and brought in, even left in a sunny window the flowers don't stay open. I'll have them every year though, they're adorable, even the greenery is lush, thick and beautiful.
