Planting and caring for daisies. Perennial daisies: varieties, cultivation and care

This delicate flowers, landing and further care, as well as the reproduction of which does not take much effort. To grow them in open land, you do not need special knowledge and skills, but varietal diversity will please even the most fastidious flower growers.

What daisies love, optimal conditions for growing flowers

If you are not one of those who want not just to contemplate daisies in photographs, but to plant them in your garden, then first of all decide on a place. It is better that it is sunny, but these flowers can also grow in partial shade.

Presence of light and heat


Daisies are very light-loving flowers, so their planting is desirable only in places with large quantity sunlight. In the shade, they are more likely to wither away. The best place for landing there will be a half-shady place.

Under these conditions, daisies will grow very beautiful and lush, with delicate and pleasant to the touch leaves. Flowers grown in partial shade are taller with more buds. In frequent sun, daisies grow stunted and with few buds.

Important! When planting flowers in open ground, choose an area where the sun will not be active at noon.

What kind of soil is needed for daisies

Daisies do best in well-drained and cultivated soil. Loamy soils that retain moisture well will be preferred. Before planting germinated flowers in open ground, it is recommended to prepare it in advance. In autumn, it is better to fertilize the soil with manure and humus. Such top dressing for daisies will last for a long time.

Did you know? The daisy is the first representative of plants that meets the dawn. For her love of sunlight, she is affectionately called the "eye of the day."

How to plant daisies, planting scheme


Plant flowers in rows 10 cm apart. How to plant daisies with seeds? No need to dig deep beds, as seedlings will have to wait a long time. The average depth is 1-1.5 cm. In this case, seedlings should appear within a week. A week later, dive the flowers.

How to plant daisies with seedlings? Daisy seedlings are planted in open soil with an earthy clod. Dig holes of small diameter, equidistant from each other by 20 cm. Place daisy seedlings in each hole in a transshipment way, this prevents injury to the young root system. Firmly pack the soil around the plants and water well.

Care rules

Did you know? In the Middle Ages, knights engraved the image of a daisy on their shields when a beloved gave her consent to a marriage proposal.

How to water flowers

Since daisies are small flowers, their root system is, accordingly, shallow. Plants need to be watered regularly and often. If there is not enough moisture, the inflorescences of daisies will be crushed, and terry varieties will lose their “commodity” appearance.

soil care


Wet soil after watering should be carefully loosened around the daisies. This is necessary for better "breathing" of the root system.

By mulching the soil with planted daisies, you will get rid of the need for frequent loosening and weed control. Mulch retains moisture in the soil much longer, preventing its rapid evaporation.

Plus, the roots of a mulched plant will not stick out. This phenomenon occurs when upper layer the soil dries up.

What and how to feed daisies

Unpretentious perennial daisies, after they have been planted, require, albeit insignificant, but care. One of the main components of care is feeding, which must be performed up to four times a season. We list the main aspects of the introduction of top dressing for these ornamental plants:

  • During the flowering period, it is better to feed the flowers with mineral fertilizers.
  • The first top dressing should be introduced immediately after the snow has melted, in the spring. Sprinkle urea over the daisy beds to nourish actively growing flowers.
  • In the summer, during the period when the first inflorescences appear, introduce nitroammophoska or any other mineral fertilizer.
  • During the flowering period of daisies, potassium and phosphorus will be of great benefit. The last top dressing of the season should consist of a "mix" of these two substances.

Important! Daisies bloom from May to July. This will stimulate the second September flowering.

Reproduction of daisies

Each gardener can choose how to propagate daisies in one of three ways:

  • Division of the bush.
  • Cuttings.
  • Growing from seed.

How to grow daisies from seeds


You can buy daisies in flower shops different varieties, and growing from seed is the most convenient and easiest way, but when is the best time to plant them? Sow the plant in open soil at the end of June.

It is not necessary to deepen the seeds strongly; they should be placed almost on the surface of loosened and fertilized soil. Next, sprinkle thin layer loose earth or sand. Daisies will appear outside in a week, a maximum of ten days after sowing.

An important point is picking young bushes. Before planting daisies on permanent place they need to cut their roots. Thanks to this, the root system will become more extensive, and the plant will become more resilient and stronger.

Seedlings should be transplanted two months later from the moment when you sow daisies in open ground, that is, in August. The distance between seedlings should be at least twenty centimeters.

They will begin to bloom only next year in the spring. But if you sow seeds in a greenhouse in March, then flowering will begin in the same year. Many professional flower growers use this method.

Did you know? Daisies were originally used in medicinal purposes. An infusion of leaves and flower baskets of daisies is good for coughs and bronchitis, as it has expectorant properties. Also, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing drugs are made from daisies.

plant cuttings

Cuttings of daisies should be in May or early June. Separated side shoots with leaves and planted in moist, soft and loose soil. The roots of the cuttings appear within a fortnight after planting. Such daisies will bloom only next year.

How to grow daisies by dividing the bush

This method of reproduction retains all the characteristics of the plant variety.

Important! Only daisies that have reached the age of two can be divided. During this period, the plant grows, only its decorative look is lost. Therefore, it needs to be planted.

After dividing and transplanting, the plant looks younger and becomes stronger in order to further grow and develop. Daisy bushes should be divided in July, because during this period the plant stops its flowering.

The bushes are dug up, and large rosettes with roots are separated from them. From one big bush you can get about twelve small plants. In the resulting bushes, you need to remove all the leaves and trim the roots. Flowers and buds are broken off.

Daisy is a perennial ornamental plant, characterized by terry inflorescences and elongated green leaves. You can find it in red, white or pink color. The peculiarity of the daisy is that it can reproduce both by cutting bushes, and by cuttings or seeds. Bright appearance and unpretentiousness have made this plant a real treasure for landscape designers and gardeners. More about daisies - growing from seeds will be discussed in this article.

Most often, this plant can be found in the Mediterranean countries and the western part of Europe. There are more than 15 types of daisies, but only 2 of them are used by gardeners: perennial and annual plants. The former are used for growing in gardens, the latter in pots. Many have heard about the incredible meteorological abilities of daisies - the flowers of the plant, having closed, are pressed to the ground before the rain.

The height of the plant is not more than 20 cm, it looks a bit like small bush. Daisy has a bare leafless stem, although in its lower part, at the very base, long blunt leaves grow. The root system is branched, but small. The plant is distinguished by a large number of inflorescences resembling baskets of its unusual shape. Inflorescences are reed and tubular.

On a note! It is advisable to grow daisies as a biennial plant. This will allow gardeners to enjoy its shape and size for a long time. Flowering falls at the end of April - the first half of May.

The most common varieties

Cute daisies can decorate any corner in your house or yard. Despite their simplicity, the cute beauty of these plants will always attract the eyes of people. If you decide to grow daisies at home, then first you will need to decide on a variety, because there are many of them. Below are the most common varieties of this plant, which are grown in Russia.

Table. Popular varieties of daisies.

Variety name, photoDescription

An early plant, characterized by bright red or pink inflorescences, the diameter of each of them is 2.4 cm. From the moment of sowing the seeds to the first flowering, 110-125 days pass. The stems are small, about 10 cm in height.

Another variety of daisy that has big flowers up to 5 cm in diameter, painted white, red or pink color. Already in the first year of plant growth, flowering begins. Stems can grow up to 12 cm.

Small two-centimeter flowers are business card this variety of daisies. Inflorescences are red, pink or carmine. In spite of small size flowers, the plant can reach 15 cm in height.

Highly beautiful plant with bright pink-salmon inflorescences. The flowers grow up to 4-5 cm in diameter, and the stem - up to 18 cm in height. Because of the decorative qualities, some gardeners prefer to grow this particular variety.

The unusual shape of the petals, combined with lush terry inflorescences, made the plant very popular. This is not strange, because the well-known organization "Floroselect" gave this variety a prize because of its good decorative qualities. The plant grows up to 15 cm in height.

Flowering of this variety occurs in the first year after sowing. Daisy grows up to 14 cm.

Another popular daisy variety, characterized by large double inflorescences up to 8 cm in diameter. Pink or red inflorescences, combined with rare petals decorated with a light openwork pattern, create an incredible picture. The height of the stem can reach 16 cm.

Optimal sowing time

It is advisable to sow daisies in the second half of June - early July, that is, in the middle of summer. But if you plan to plant ready seedlings in open ground, it is recommended to do this in the fall. At the same time, it is not necessary to dig the seeds too deep into the soil - just press them lightly with your finger and roll them a little.

Growing daisies

This is simple process, which even people who are not strong in gardening matters can do. Therefore, if you want to start your "creative" life with the cultivation of a flower, perhaps start with daisies. Often people grow this plant from seeds, but more experienced gardeners use a different method - dividing the bush.

If in the first case everything is corny simple, then in the second you will have to work a little. Of course, before sowing, you need to take care of the seeds and soil.

Soil and seed preparation

For growing daisies any will do well-drained and cultivated soil. Loams are often used because of their qualities (they retain moisture well). When preparing a bed for daisies, it is advisable to fertilize the soil with rotted manure since autumn. This should be enough for the plant for almost a whole year.

Despite the light-loving plant, it also feels good in conditions of slight shading. Of course, when growing in partial shade, they will not bloom so luxuriantly, although the leaves will become more tender, and the peduncles will be tall. When grown on sunny side, the growth of daisies will be more active and abundant, but the height of the plants, respectively, will be lower. Optimal location for growing - this is a site that does not get midday sunlight.

For growing daisies, you can use not only purchased seeds, but also collected with your own hands - in both cases, they will grow well. But if you decide to collect the seed yourself, in no case do not use hybrid plants for collection. Otherwise, plants may lose their varietal characteristics over time. We are talking about the diameter of the inflorescences, the color of the leaves, flowers, and so on. Before planting daisies, you do not need to carry out any seed preparation - this is the simplicity of their cultivation.

Planting seeds

Having decided on the variety, you can start growing. Often they sow seed directly into the beds - this is also correct. But we will consider the method of planting seeds in containers.

Table. Planting daisy seeds.

Steps, photoDescription of actions

After choosing a suitable growing container (in this case it is a tray), fill it with soil mixture. Often people do not bother preparing it, so they buy soil in specialized stores. After that, shake the soil a little so that it is distributed throughout the container.

Using a ruler, make special grooves in the ground for seeds. The distance between them is 1.5-2 cm.

Open the seeds and start sowing them. Daisy seeds are small, so plant them as if you were salting a dish. At the same time, try not to cover the seeds with soil.

Moisten the soil with a spray bottle. The soil should be moderately moist. It is not recommended to water it from a watering can or a glass, as this can wash the daisy seeds out of the grooves.

cover the container plastic lid and do not forget to write with a marker on it the name of the variety of daisies, as well as indicate the date of planting. Do not place a container on the window. Optimum temperature for germination of daisies - + 25-28 ° C.

After the first shoots appear, remove the lid from the container. You can also lower the temperature a little, to about +18°C.

Aftercare

As noted earlier, daisies are considered undemanding plants able to survive not only drought, but also other, more unfavorable conditions. AT spring period you need to feed the daisies with special store-bought fertilizers for flowers. When flowering, try to regularly pinch off the baskets that begin to fade, thus preventing the daisies from setting seeds. Such actions prolong the flowering period, since the plant considers that the attempt to produce offspring was unsuccessful, therefore, it must be repeated.

On a note! If you grow perennial daisies in the garden, then you must definitely divide and replant the plant (at least once a year). This is a troublesome procedure, but only in this way can the annual full-fledged flowering of daisies be achieved without losing their decorative qualities. If we talk about watering, then it should be moderate. The plant can easily survive the drought, but waterlogged soil can be a problem for it. It is enough to water twice a week.

Disease and pest control

Daisies are quite resistant to various diseases and pests, but still there is a certain probability of infection with the virus. In rare cases, the leaves of the plant begin to turn pale and decrease in size, the inflorescences become smaller, and the stems begin to stretch. As a rule, this happens in the first half of summer. If you suddenly notice such deviations in development, then the diseased plants should be burned, and they must be destroyed with roots. And the place where the affected daisies grew, immediately treat with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Also, the plant can get sick powdery mildew, which is accompanied by the appearance gray plaque on the surface of flowers and leaves. The resulting fungus can be eliminated with Bordeaux mixture or colloidal sulfur. One of these means is to process all the flowers in the garden. And with the affected daisies, you already know what to do.

Sometimes daisies need to be saved from ticks. To do this, treat the plants with Actellik or Karbofos. If you find mice on your site, from which, by the way, plants can also suffer, then you need to decompose special baits with poison. The troubles that can happen to your daisies do exist, but they are very few. In addition, in the end, a pleasant surprise awaits you - a reward for the effort and time spent in the form of a beautiful and long flowering.

Decorative ways to use daisies

Most often in decorative purposes daisies are used as a small portable garden. To create a stylish and beautiful scenery it is necessary to initially consider all options for placing plants in pots. Vases, exquisite stone containers or pots made of wood or ceramics can be used. Most economical solution considered plastic molds. To decorate the house, daisies are best placed in places for recreation (on the porch, near water bodies, in secluded corners, and so on). Thanks to this arrangement, you can achieve the desired peace and tranquility.

This plant is also often used to create decorative plant rugs. To do this, choose large semi-shaded areas. In such conditions, the daisy will bloom for a long time and brightly, and thanks to a well-chosen place, its leaves will last until the end of autumn. In terms of choosing a composition, your hands are completely untied, because when creating a carpet from plants, you can choose not only monotonous varieties and types of plants. For example, along the edges you can plant higher and dark flowers, and in the center - large and bright inflorescences varieties Bellissima.

Video - Planting and caring for daisies

Daisies are two-year-old flowers, they bloom in the second year of planting. The flower is unpretentious and does not cause any special difficulties in growing. However, experienced gardeners have their own secrets on how to plant daisies so that they bloom this summer.

Growing daisies from seeds

Traditionally, daisies are propagated by seed, sowing seeds directly into open, moist ground. Sowing begins in mid-June, while the seeds are not buried in the soil, but lightly sprinkled with sand. They need light, moisture and warmth to germinate. The bed is immediately well watered and covered with a film. At favorable conditions shoots appear a week after planting.

Daisies grow very quickly, so soon they need to be picked right in the garden. It is most convenient to plant flowers at a distance of 20 cm from each other. With good care over the summer, a powerful rosette of leaves will grow. But this method has one drawback - daisies will bloom only next spring. You should not be afraid for tender plants in the cold season; daisies tolerate frost well.

Important! It is not necessary to allow self-seeding of daisies, despite the simplicity of this method. Every year, with independent reproduction, the flowers become smaller, the decorative qualities deteriorate.

How to grow seedlings of daisies

Not many gardeners know that growing daisies through seedlings is the most best way to see it bloom this year.

Before planting, prepare individual containers in advance, as the root system of seedlings is fragile and easily injured during picking. Seeds should be sown immediately in separate pots.

Daisies are planted in late February or early March. To do this, prepare a loose substrate that absorbs moisture well. Normal potting mix will do. flower shops. The principle of cultivation is the same as when sowing in open ground. Seeds are not buried in the soil, but distributed on its surface. The main task of the gardener is to create suitable conditions.

1. Bright light. Seeds need to germinate good lighting, on cloudy days you will need additional lighting. The duration of daylight hours should be at least 12-14 hours a day.

2. Comfort temperature. Immediately after planting, the temperature in the room is maintained at 20-22 degrees. After germination, it is lowered to 16 C.

Water the seedlings carefully, trying not to wet the soil too much.

Here's an easy way to grow strong seedlings daisies, which will tolerate transplanting in open ground well.

When to plant seedlings of daisies in open ground

Daisies are not capricious plants, but before planting it is still worth preparing the site in advance.

For growing a flower, take a bright and warm place. The composition of the soil does not really matter, but it is better if it is loose and nutritious. When growing daisies in heavy soil, frequent weeding and loosening will be required, so it is better to add sand and humus to the ground. This will not only improve the composition of the soil, but also facilitate the care of daisies.

Advice! You should not plant daisies in the lowland, as the stagnation of thawed and ground water leads to problems with the root system of the plant.

The timing of planting seedlings depends on the region of residence and weather conditions. Usually the plant is transferred to open ground in late May or early June.

The scheme of planting daisies in the garden with a photo

Planting daisies is carried out by transshipment, trying not to destroy the earthen clod. If seedlings were grown in peat tablets or pots, they are not removed.

Planting holes are arranged according to the 20x20 cm pattern so that the plants have enough space for development. Each hole is watered abundantly, and the planted flowers are pressed tightly with earth.

Caring for daisies in a flower bed

One of important rulestimely watering. The root system of plants lies shallow, so it dries quickly. As a result, the inflorescences become smaller, dry out, and terry forms lose their qualities.

Daisies are watered every other day, but in hot summers, daily watering will be required. If this is not possible, then the soil around the flowers is mulched with humus. This method not only retains moisture, but maintains the soil in a loose state. In addition, in the heat, the mulch protects the roots from overheating.

When caring for daisies, do not forget about top dressing. It prolongs flowering, makes it brighter. Plants need to be fertilized at least twice a season. Use complex mineral fertilizers for flowering plants.

How to propagate daisies

In spite of good care for daisies, over time they lose their decorative effect. Experienced gardeners a flower is bred not only with seeds, but also vegetatively. The division of the bush and cuttings allows you to save the varietal qualities of the plant.

The division of the bush is carried out early autumn. The mother bush is dug up and divided into several parts, while all formed buds are removed, the roots of the plant are cut by 5 cm. This will allow the plots to take root well in a new place. Young plants take root quickly and continue to grow.

Important! If the plot is left without roots, then plant it directly so that new roots will grow from the base of the cutting.

Daisies should be cut at the end of summer. With a sharp knife side stepchildren are separated from the plant and rooted in moistened soil. Typically, this takes up to two weeks. The resulting plants bloom in the next season.

Diseases and pests

Miniature daisies are rarely affected by diseases and pests. Growing them is a pleasure. However, with viral epidemics, the plant can get sick. This can be determined by appearance.

1. Pedicels elongate in early summer.

2. Inflorescences become smaller.

3. The leaf cover changes color, becomes pale.

Unfortunately, viral diseases are not amenable to treatment, therefore, at the first sign, the plants are uprooted and burned. The landing site is thoroughly disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Caring for daisies after flowering

The flowering of daisies ends gradually, so their seeds are harvested once a week. Withered baskets are cut, the seeds are crushed and stored in paper bag. If there is no such need, then the baskets are simply thrown away.

Daisies tolerate frost well, but in snowless winters, their root system can suffer from low temperatures. To this end late autumn the soil around the flowers is mulched with a thick layer of humus, sawdust or peat. The mulch layer should be at least 8 cm, which will keep the roots from freezing.

Important! If the roots of the plant are bare and are on the surface of the soil, then mulching is carried out in any case.

Growing a garden daisy is an easy and fun activity. Even a beginner in gardening can cope with it. It is enough to deal with the timing of planting, properly organize care, and timely cover the plants for the winter.

These small bushes with small flowers bloom early in the morning. And for their unpretentiousness and extreme endurance, many gardeners are happy to grow on their plots.

General information

Although the plant is a perennial, but usually on garden plots it is grown as biennial plant, because with each subsequent season, the flowers of daisies become smaller, many rosettes simply die off.

The foliage of these plants is oval, green, connected to rosettes located near the surface of the earth. Flowers can be double or ordinary, the color of the inflorescences is white, pinkish or red.

The bushes are low - about 18 - 20 cm in height. They begin to bloom in late April - early May, during the July heat they rest from flowering. And when it gets cooler, they bloom again.

They can be planted as a border decoration, along the edge of flower beds and flower beds, their best neighbors are tulips or daffodils.

Planting daisies in open ground

These flowers can be planted both in open sunny areas and in partial shade. The soil in which daisies grow best is loam that is well drained.

The area where the gardener is going to plant daisies in the spring should be fertilized with humus or rotted compost in the fall.

Daisies are usually planted in rows, the distance between which should be about 10 cm. Do not bury the seeds when planting, otherwise they will not sprout soon. Usually the seeds are planted in the ground to a depth of 1.5 - 2 cm. The first seedlings appear within a week after planting. When the flowers have 2 - 3 true leaves, they can dive, and the extra seedlings can be planted in other flower beds.

Daisy Care

Although the daisy does not require special care but you still need to take care of it. The root system of this shrub is close to the surface of the earth, therefore Special attention should be given watering this flower:
  • if there is little moisture, then the flowers will become small;
  • and with an excess of moisture, the flowers will simply fall off.
It is necessary to loosen the soil after each watering so that a crust does not form on the surface of the earth. Simultaneously with loosening, emerging weeds should be removed. And so that the moisture does not evaporate so quickly, the aisles are mulched with finely chopped grass, straw, and foliage. are not afraid of frost and winter well under a layer of snow.

If these flowers serve as decoration Alpine slide, then for the winter they must be covered with foliage, straw or needles.

For abundant flowering daisies should be cut off their fading inflorescences in order to prevent consumption nutrients for seed maturation. Usually every season (or every two seasons) these flowers are dug up, bushes are divided and transplanted.

During the summer, daisies are fertilized several times. The first time you should add urea immediately after the snow melts. It is scattered over the beds with flowers. The nitrogen contained in this fertilizer allows the vegetative mass of the plant to grow actively.

When the buds begin to appear actively on the bushes, you should once again feed the daisies. Usually use nitroammophoska or other similar mineral fertilizer.

During active flowering, preparations containing phosphorus and potassium are added under these "pearls".

After the active flowering of daisies in early summer, they begin a rest phase during the heat period. At this time, they should cut off all faded inflorescences, and also make complex fertilizers. Then the flowers, after the heat subsides, will begin to bloom again.

Reproduction of daisies

You can propagate these flowers as follows:
  • dividing the bushes during their transplantation;
  • with the help of cuttings;
  • or plant with seeds.
The bushes should be divided two years after they are planted in the ground. Usually this procedure is carried out either in the summer, until the daisies bloom, or in early autumn. But some gardeners divide the bushes in the spring, but before the first buds appear on the daisies.

Usually large bushes are dug up and divided into several parts. In order for these sockets to take root, their foliage is cut off and pruned root system by 3 - 5 cm. Flowers and buds must be removed. The first 10 - 14 days it is necessary to water the planted flowers every day, it is also necessary to shade the plant for this time. The division of the bushes allows you to rejuvenate these flowers.

Daisies are propagated by cuttings in late spring. The side stems are cut off from the bushes and planted in an unheated greenhouse. The soil in this greenhouse should be loose. After 10 - 14 days, the cuttings will take root. Such plants will begin to bloom only the next season.

Daisies should be planted with seeds in a flower garden in early summer. After 10 - 12 days, the first shoots usually appear, when all the seeds sprout, the shoots should be dived. At the end of summer, the grown shrubs are transplanted into flower beds. The distance between them should be at least 0.2 m. Usually, such shrubs bloom in the next season.

How to plant daisies(preparation of soil and seeds, use of the seedling method).
- Basic rules for caring for daisies.

Daisy - cold resistant perennial. It gets along well in areas where the hot summer lasts a couple of months. The ability to grow in sunny areas and in the shade makes it a versatile plant for creating all kinds of landscape projects. So that bright flower beds delight with flowering already in early spring worth taking care of sowing seeds of daisies for seedlings as early as the beginning of February. One of my favorite varieties of daisies is Red Ball. From seeds grows a beautiful variegated flower bush, which is easily propagated both by seeds and by division. Plant seedlings of daisies from seeds even a beginner can.

How to plant seedlings of daisies:

  1. preparing the ground

If the soil on the site is poor, it is better not to take it for growing seedlings. We use purchased universal primer.

We take a container for seedlings, pour shells of pistachios or other nuts scalded with boiling water on the bottom. They should take up 1/3 of the capacity. The shell can be replaced with dry leaves or leftover cat litter.

The remaining volume (2\3) is filled with purchased universal soil. To save money, you can dilute it 50/50 with soil from the garden. Shouldn't be used specialized soil for seedlings - it gives maximum shrinkage and out of 5 purchased liters of seedlings you get 2.5 liters of soil spilled with water, which is exactly half the volume of universal soil.

2. Should you soak the seeds?

It's not obligatory. Daisy seeds are so small that during sowing they will stick together and not give an even distribution.

3. Planting in a container for seedlings

Daisies dive easily, so the seeds are planted both in a common container and in separate cups. In a common container, it is recommended to place the seeds at a distance of 10 cm from each other in order to avoid picking in the future. And you can just pour the seeds into the ground arbitrarily. At the end, sprinkle the crops 0.5 cm on top of the ground and cover with a film or plastic lid. We moisten the soil daily and do not forget to ventilate.

After 10-14 days, the first shoots should appear. Additionally, you can shed the soil with a root solution with water 1 time in 2 weeks. It will increase the resistance of the root system by increasing the number of roots and the plant will take root better in open field. After the appearance of stable sprouts, we dive according to the scheme 15 through 15 cm. With the onset of warm nights, we plant seedlings on the street and enjoy healthy bushy flower beds.

In this way, it is possible to plant other types of daisies: terry, semi-double or simple. It all depends on individual preferences.

Basic rules for caring for daisies

After planting plants, you need to remember the basic rules of care:

  • It's better to dry than to flood. Daisies need drainage, so holes must be made at the bottom of the container with seedlings;
  • Choose sunny places for planting, then flowering will be more abundant;
  • For long flowering pick off fading inflorescences;
  • Once a year, divide the bushes, preventing the degeneration of the variety and its crushing.
  • Apply high-moor peat or humus to daisy beds every season.
