They can be planted in the spring, summer or fall. Most gardeners sow their daisy seeds directly in the garden. WHERE TO PLANT DAISY SEEDS Choose a sunny location that is well-protected with rich, well-drained soil. Compost can be mixed with your garden soil. HOW TO PLANT DAISY SEEDS Use a hoe or rake to scratch the top of soil. Then, toss the seeds on top. Daisy seeds should only lightly be covered with about 1/8 inch of soil. It is important to maintain a good level of moisture until the seeds have germinated (in approximately 14 days). If you desire, a general fertilizer can be applied during the early growth stages and monthly thereafter. Before the daisies bloom, you can switch to a high phosphorus fertilizer. This will give you bigger, brighter flowers.
