100 Painted Daisy Seeds Heirloom Non-GMO Glebionis carinata Chrysanthemum tricolor

Painted Daisy, botanically known as Glebionis carinata and formerly classified as Chrysanthemum tricolor, is a cheerful annual flower prized for its vivid tricolor blooms. Each daisy-like flower features a bright yellow center surrounded by petals banded in white, yellow, and deep maroon or red, creating a striking painted effect in the garden. These heirloom, non-GMO seeds make it easy to grow a colorful cutting garden, border, or pollinator-friendly planting from scratch.

Painted Daisies are fast-growing, easy-to-grow annuals that bloom over a long season when spent flowers are removed. Their sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make them excellent for fresh bouquets, while the open flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. Whether sown directly in beds or started indoors, they add bright, old-fashioned charm to cottage gardens and wildflower plantings.

Planting & Care

Sow Painted Daisy seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Thin or transplant seedlings to about 9 to 12 inches apart once they have several sets of true leaves. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for best flowering.

Keep young plants consistently watered during establishment, then water during dry spells. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering through the season. Painted Daisies generally need little fertilizer; too much nitrogen can produce leafy growth at the expense of flowers. At season's end, allow a few flowers to mature and dry if you wish to save seeds for next year.
