Shasta Daisy is names after the Mount Shasta in California because of its white snow peaks. There are many different varieties of Shasta Daisy. They are a delicate perennial.
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!!!
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 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?
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? :-(
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
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
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.
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?
