Planting & Care

Sow Cape Daisy seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and barely cover the seeds with a light layer of vermiculite or soil, as they need some light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the medium evenly moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become more drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Cape Daisies are generally pest-free and deer-resistant, making them a low-maintenance addition to any garden.
