200 Robinsons Giant Mix Painted Daisy Seeds | Tanacetum coccineum | Colorful Garden Flower Mix
Robinsons Giant Mix Painted Daisy (Tanacetum coccineum) is a cheerful, old-fashioned perennial known for its large, daisy-like blooms in a vibrant mix of colors. This colorful garden flower mix typically includes shades of pink, red, white, and purple, each with a contrasting yellow center. The flowers rise on sturdy stems above finely divided, fern-like foliage, creating a lovely texture in borders and beds. Painted daisies are excellent for cutting gardens, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial borders, and they attract pollinators to the landscape.
Easy to grow from seed, Robinsons Giant Mix brings long-lasting color to the garden from late spring into summer. The plants are relatively low-maintenance and tolerant of a range of conditions once established, making them a rewarding choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or space them in the garden according to the recommended spacing.
Painted daisies prefer full sun but appreciate some afternoon shade in hot climates. Water regularly during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In colder zones, provide winter mulch for protection.
