Planting & Care
Sow Shasta Daisy seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-20 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.
