Shasta daisy seeds can be started indoors after frost, as the foliage will begin to die back and turn brown. To protect the roots from frost heaves, cut back the spent foliage and add a layer of mulch around the base of the plant. Shasta daisies are frost hardy and should be prepared by removing any brown and dead leaves and flowers, then trimming off one-third of the plant using gardening shears.
Plant Shasta daisies in containers in a cold frame in autumn or spring. If seeding directly, expect blooms after one season’s growth the following spring. If purchasing a plant in a container, plant in individual pots or trays eight to ten weeks before the average last frost date in your area. The seeds need light to germinate and should be gently pressed into a moist soil.
Caring for Shasta daisy plants in pots is easy as long as they keep them moist and pruned. Water regularly whenever the topsoil feels dry. Repot Shasta daisies when needed. To grow from seeds, sow indoors 10 to 12 weeks before your predicted frost-free date. Light: Shasta daisy and ox-eye daisy do best in full sun. Soil: Average to sandy soil works well for these daisies. Spacing: 24-30 inches for plants. Grow Shasta daisies on a site that receives at least 6 hours of full sun per day. Plant them 1 to 2 feet apart, depending on the variety.
