When is the best time to plant daisies?

Daisy planting time

Daisy, also known as amaranth, marguerite, spring daisy, etc., is a plant of the Asteraceae family and the genus Daisy. It is mostly propagated by sowing, and it takes about 180-200 days from sowing to flowering.

The planting time of daisies is different in different regions. In the south, they are mostly sown in September and October in autumn, and in the north, they are mostly sown in spring. Pay attention to the appropriate temperature, otherwise the survival rate will be very low.

How to sow daisies

1. Seed selection and germination

Daisy seeds are relatively small. Before planting, choose plump and round seeds, soak them in water for a while, and then wrap them with wet paper towels to germinate.

2. Sowing and seedling raising

Sprinkle the processed daisy seeds evenly on the soil surface, cover them with about 1 cm of soil, water them thoroughly, and then place them in a semi-shaded place for maintenance, waiting for them to germinate.

Key points and techniques for growing daisies

1. The soil used for planting daisies is usually prepared with garden soil and river sand. You can also add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to provide nutrients for the growth of the plants.

2. After sowing the daisies, the temperature should be kept at around 28°C. If the temperature is lower, you can use plastic film to cover it to keep warm, which is more conducive to seed germination.
