How to plant daisies - the most important tips
Some call it weeds and destroy it, others can not imagine a lawn without daisies. The common daisy grows practically by itself, you can sow the different cultivated forms or buy in pots.

The daisy likes to like sunny. Even the first rays of sunshine in spring or a mild winter attract the pretty flowers to the surface. It likes to grow in meadows and short-cut lawns, but can also be cultivated well in a pot or planted in a balcony box.
While the wild or common daisy is relatively undemanding and grows well on strained soil, the cultivars prefer a well-drained, slightly loamy soil and a sunny to partially shaded spot. They are usually sensitive to cold. You should protect your plants from late frosts bought in spring or preferred indoors.
Sowing and propagation of daisies
To sow the wild daisy, mix the seeds with a little sand. Sprinkle this mixture loose. If your lawn needs reseeding or restocking, then mix the daisy seeds with the grass seed and sprinkle together. Let the withered flower heads lie on the lawn, then sow the daisy itself.
Since the daisies are among the light germs, the seeds should not be covered with soil. Always keep the seeds slightly moist until germination. The breeding forms of Bellis perennis are best grown in pots. If the young plants are big enough, plant them to the desired place in the garden.
Daisies are easy to share. Dig out some well-developed plants and divide the rosettes. Then plant the cuts at the desired location and water the plants well. To grow quickly and well, put some well rotted compost in the planting hole.
