Daisies thwart in sun and rich, well-drained soil. They are considered as some of the easiest plants to grow. They are perfect for beginning gardeners or children.
Daisies are perennials that make wonderful vase flowers, terrific indoor arrangements, lovely potted plants, or gorgeous additions to the garden. There are lots of varieties of daisies, but the two most popular forms are the Shasta daisy and the African daisy. While the Shasta is a perennial, the African daisy is an annual.
Here are few tips to grow daisies in your garden:
- The best time to plant daisies is in the spring. Dig up the whole clump, and separate into three or more divisions.
- Make sure that the selected area gets full sun for as long as possible each day. Daisies do well in sun. Like most plants, the daisies thwart in soil that is rich with nutrients and is well drained.
- Most daisies are grown directly from their seeds. You can plant them directly into the soil or flowerbed. You can also opt to grow inside by planting daisy seeds in trays.
- When first planting your daisies, the seeds can be scattered together in clumps, but as time goes on and they begin to grow, they will need to be separated to avoid “choking” each other or overcrowding the garden.
- In initial stages of planting you can add some fertilizers to encourage the healthy growth of daisies. Once the plants become established you can add phosphorous rich fertilizer to their soil. You can see that daisies bloom to their full and are healthy.
- Fortunately, daisies are not very prone to many diseases or pests. They do not typically need any kind of pesticide or fungicide, which is another reason they are very easy to grow and maintain.
- Once the daisies have fully bloomed, trim them to make a lovely bouquet or table arrangement. Daisies bring joy and happiness into any garden!
