Pomponette Daisy Mixed

How to Grow Pomponette Daisy from Seeds:

1. Sowing Time:

   - Start Indoors: If you're in a cooler climate, it's best to start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. In warmer areas, you can directly sow outdoors after the last frost date.

2. Soil:

   - Daisies prefer well-draining, loamy soil that’s rich in organic matter. They also do well in slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (pH 6.0–7.0).

3. Sowing the Seeds:

   - Indoor Sowing: Sprinkle the seeds lightly on the surface of seed trays filled with seed-starting mix. Press the seeds gently into the soil, but don’t cover them, as they need light to germinate.

   - Outdoor Sowing: For direct sowing, scatter seeds over the soil surface in early spring after the last frost. Lightly press them in, but avoid covering them too deeply.

4. Germination:

   - Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Germination usually occurs in 7-14 days, depending on the temperature (ideal germination temperature is around 65-70°F or 18-21°C).

5. Transplanting:

   - Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them into your garden or containers. Space the plants 8-12 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and growth.

6. Light:

   - Pomponette daisies thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade in hotter climates. Aim for 6+ hours of sunlight each day for the best blooms.

7. Watering:

   - Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Water at the base of the plant, not on the leaves, to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

8. Fertilizing:

   - Fertilize lightly once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer, especially if your soil is not very fertile.

9. Blooming:

   - Pomponette Daisies will typically bloom from late spring to fall, depending on the climate and care provided.

Care Tips:

- Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from going to seed too early.

- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain consistent soil temperatures.

Uses:

- Borders: Great for creating a cheerful, colorful border in the garden.

- Containers: Compact growth makes them ideal for pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes.

- Cut Flowers: Pomponette daisies make lovely cut flowers, adding a soft touch to floral arrangements.
