Giant Double Mixed English Daisy Bell Seeds 6450. Small, double daisy-like flowers with 15 cm (6) stems rising from tufts of shiny green foliage. Here is a great plant for early colour as it blooms from early April into May. Beautiful as an edging for borders or the rock garden. Thrives in lake-effect micro-climates. There are times when English Daisy does not readily reseed itself so we recommend seeding this species every year to ensure continued flowering. Biennial hardy to Zone 4.
4800 seed/gram. Sow seed indoors in mid February, on top of the growing medium but do not cover as light aids germination. Germinate at 21 C (70 F) for 14 days. After that grow on under lights before hardening off and transplanting to a sunny site. Space plants 15 cm (6"") apart in the garden in full sun to partial shade. Prefers a rich, moist soil. Keep well watered during the growing season and feed monthly for best garden performance. A direct seeding can be done in May and June for flowering in the following year.
