Planting Instructions
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.

Tried and true
These seeds (really and edenbrothets) always grow! The key is soil prep is you direct sow. I prefer to start mine in 4" seedling pots then replant to their permanent home once they are 6" tall. I have been using the same bag of daisy seeds for 3 years and the seeds have not gone bad over time. I am only buying more because I've misplaced my original bag and plan to plant these daisys along 80ft of fence line. The plants are so resilient. We're in zone 6 and these guys will try to regrow winter! Hey will regrow after getting mower over in the fall. Each year hey come back bigger and healthier.
