Product Description
African Daisy Seeds
Out of Africa and into your North American flowerbed! African Daisy seeds thrive in dry, gritty soil similar to that found in its native South Africa. African Daisies grow to about a foot in height and produce a 1.5 inch flower which closes at night and during overcast days. Butterflies and bees are attracted to the lovely yellow, apricot, orange and white petals of African Daisies.

How to Plant & Grow Daisy (Chrysanthemum) from Seeds
Eye catching in the field and long lasting in a vase, America has a love affair with daisies!
Daisies are almost foolproof to grow. They can be planted in the spring, summer or fall. Most gardeners sow their daisy seeds directly in the garden. Choose a sunny location that is well-protected with rich, well-drained soil. Compost can be mixed with your garden soil. Use a hoe or rake to scratch the top of soil. Then, toss the seeds on top.
Daisy seeds should only lightly be covered with about 1/8 inch of soil. It is important to maintain a good level of moisture until the seeds have germinated (in approximately 14 days). If you desire, a general fertilizer can be applied during the early growth stages and monthly thereafter. Before the daisies bloom, you can switch to a high phosphorus fertilizer. This will give you bigger, brighter flowers.
Daisies need average amounts of water.
Once your perennials are established, separate your varieties by division every 3 to 4 years to avoid overcrowding. Dig up clumps and separate them into groups to be replanted.
If you live in a cold climate, give your daisies a layer of mulch to protect them during the winter.
