  • Growth Habit: Daisies grow in a bushy, clumping manner with strong stems that can support their large flowers.
  • Size: The plants typically reach 12–24 inches in height, with flowers ranging from 2–3 inches in diameter.

Planting Instructions

Planting Season

  • Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost date or in fall for a spring bloom.
  • Ideal for cool-season planting, growing best when temperatures range from 55°F to 75°F (13°C to 24°C).

Planting Details

  • Seed Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-prepared soil.
  • Spacing: Space seeds or seedlings 6–12 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
  • Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH of 6.0–7.0.
  • Sunlight: Daisies thrive in full sun but can tolerate light shade in warmer climates.

Care Instructions

Watering

  • Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Once established, daisies are moderately drought-tolerant.
  • Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Fertilization

  • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage robust growth and flowering.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can promote lush foliage at the expense of flowers.

Deadheading and Pruning

  • Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flowering and prevent the plants from going to seed too early.
  • Cut back dead or damaged stems in the fall to prepare the plants for winter.

Pest and Disease Control

  • Pests: Daisies are generally pest-resistant but can sometimes be affected by aphids or slugs. Use insecticidal soap or natural predators to manage these issues.
  • Diseases: While daisies are hardy, they can be susceptible to fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Provide good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk.

Harvesting

  • Maturity: Daisies typically bloom within 60–90 days of sowing, depending on growing conditions.
  • Method: Flowers can be cut for fresh bouquets when they are fully open, or allowed to naturally seed for future generations.

Storage

  • Short-Term: Fresh-cut daisies last up to a week in a vase with clean water.
  • Long-Term: Dried daisies can be used in craft projects or floral arrangements, retaining their color and shape when properly dried.

Culinary Uses

  • Edible Flowers: Daisies are edible and can be used to garnish salads, cakes, or desserts for a colorful touch.
  • Herbal Tea: The petals can be infused into herbal teas, offering a mild, delicate flavor.
