Understanding the life cycle of seeds and seed pods is crucial for successful cultivation of Shasta daisies. Starting indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sowing directly outdoors when the soil temperature reaches 70ºF is recommended. Shasta daisies bloom for about six weeks, depending on factors such as soil quality, watering, and sunlight exposure. They can be direct sown anytime throughout the summer, provided they are done 2 months before the first predicted fall frost.
Shape daisy seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days, but it can take up to 3 weeks in cooler conditions. Sow seeds indoors either 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 soilless environment.
Plants grown from clumps will flower in their first growing season, while those grown from seed will flower in their second growing season. Seedlings should start sprouting in 15-21 days, and after germination, provide even moisture and maintain the plant’s moisture. Daisies will readily grow from seed, and seed heads will develop after the petals dry.
To grow Shasta daisies from seed, prepare small pots with rich soil and gently press the seeds into the soil. After germination, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath the plant. Overall, understanding the life cycle of seeds and seed pods is essential for successful cultivation of Shasta daisies.
