Growing Shasta Daisy from seeds (with all updates)

[@ericatawney4960]

I have 72 babies I started on 3/14/2024, sounds like I will have VERY healthy plants to over winter and I'll get great blooms ongoing for years! Great information in this video, thank you so much for those details!!!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I am so glad it was helpful

[@sebastianalcones8018]

I appreciate this video for the detailed information on how to handle the seeding in winter. Even I started with seeds but late in the summer so this video is very informative.

I started about 45 plants from seed and took care of them for 2 or three months before moving them to the two raised beds that I created for them. They are leafy and standing up, but I have just heard that they will probably not bloom until next season. I am sure they will look great, but waiting over a full year to see them bloom is a bit frustrating...

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

But you know, after that they will bloom year after year and keep multiplying

[@jeffnay6502]

@@EasyPeasyGardening I can't wait to see them. I have put a lot of work into then so far. I have them spaced about 4" apart. Will there be enough blooms to make it look like a blanket?

[@jamessanders6788]

​​@@jeffnay6502 any luck? Updates?

[@cami-mani]

Nice video! I have the same seeds and will plant them in a flowerpot. I will leave them outside until next summer to see if they bloom. TFS!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Good luck. I love them.

[@susiemccoy7]

When you planted the daisy seeds there was bugs crawling up out of the soil. They look like termites. Thank you for posting this video.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes there were bugs but i don't think they were termites

[@alexismausbach7679]

Those are called earwigs!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I live in a cold climate where winter temps can hang at zero for a few days. I love Shastas and want to grow some in pots next summer - will they servive in an unheated garage over winter? Or should I bring them in the house. Thanks, very helpful video

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

They will survive in garage. They will also survive outside if you don't get snow. The leaves may die but roots will spring back into action in spring.

[@yooperlooper]

Thank-you very much !!! The garage it is, as we get plenty of snow. @@EasyPeasyGardening ❄🌨☃🏂🌞

@@yooperlooper good luck

Shasta Daisy Alaska can survive Zones 4 to 9, very cold resistant.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Oh good to know

[@girlsixdiva]

I've had green daisy leaves but no plants for nearly a year now. I planted the seeds last year around this time, either March or April. The daisy leaves are growing in a small (about the size of half of a red Solo cup) pot. Would that make any difference? I tried putting fertilizer sticks in them a couple of weeks ago and the poor plant immediately burned. I was able to save it by flushing the soil, then shortly afterward the soil became infested with gnats. The gnat problem became so bad I ended up moving the pot outside. The plant appears to be strong because the green leaves returned only a couple of days later, and it still looks green, but no flowers after nearly a year. What am I doing wrong? :-(

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Normally they don't grow flowers the first year. You should get flowers this year. Keep it in sun unless the sun is too harsh

[@Stretch57]

So no need to thin the seedlings out? Will multiple plants not result in overcrowding? I just started some seeds and have multiple plants per 4 inch pot. Plan to put them outside in a garden after last frost. Anyone have advice?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thinning is better specially if you are planting in a container

[@coreybrown6852]

Do you guys think Shasta Daisies can survive in zone 9B Florida? Is it too hot and sunny here?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It should survive if it doesn't get direct afternoon sun. You cam also plant it in the containers in the first year. That way you can keep moving it around to find an optimal spot for it

[@1111mfo]

Excellent, thankyou

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You are welcome!

[@yvettehegler2292]

I’m in central Florida and just bought seeds and was just going to plant scatter the seeds in the ground? Do you think that would work?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Absolutely

[@allysanchez5630]

So pretty 😍

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes

[@paulinekoulavong7268]

What kind of fertilizer do you use on the daisies ?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Phosphorus rich

[@hkdoycle]

I am wanting to plant these now in order for them to bloom by July this year. Will that work? Thanks!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

If you get plants from nursery, then yes

[@Amedeus1756]

Does the packet seed tell you whether is a short or tall plant seeds?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It didn't

[@cami-mani]

I have those same seeds from the Dollar Tree. The height is on the back of the packet and is 2' (2 feet).

[@Aradhona572]

When is the perfect time for seedlings? Can I started now?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes, spring and summer are the best times but it will bloom in the next season

[@PrincessWarrior-vm2zy]

My favorite flower i want to get good with growing daisys one of my fav flower

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Best of luck

[@AfrozaSheikh-vi4je]

Can i plant them in fall?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes, if you give it enough time before frost. If you live in cooler areas where it snows, you may have to bring it indoors

[@jodavis650]

In the wild this is when they drop their seeds in the wild

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes

[@Arnabi.roy06]

Where can I buy the seeds?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Try amazon

[@sumateesooklal6839]

Is Shasta daisy the same as chamomile?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

No. Chamomile flower is much smaller.
