Daisy: Sowing, planting and harvest calendar
How do you sow daisies outdoors?
Sow daisies in spring or early autumn in fine, well-drained soil, in sun or partial shade. Remove weeds and break up the soil surface. For an ornamental variety intended to flower the following spring, follow the sowing period shown on the packet.
Scatter the small seeds on the surface and gently press them against the soil without burying them: they need light to germinate. Water with a fine spray and keep moisture levels steady, without soaking the soil or letting the seedbed dry out.
Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them or transplant them carefully. Allow about 10–15 cm between plants, adjusting the spacing to the variety. Continue watering while they establish.
