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 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C).
Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back stems to ground level. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.
