Growing Non-GMO Shasta Daisy Snow Lady Flower Seeds

Start shasta daisy Snow Lady seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the final frost date. Snow Lady seeds will germinate in 2-3 weeks. Once germinated, move under a fluorescent grow light for 16 hours of light per day until two sets of true leaves have developed. Transplant Snow Lady seedlings to an indoor pot and "harden off" if transplanting outside. For direct sowing, plant shasta daisy Snow Lady seeds in average, medium-dry, and well-drained soil in full sun. Avoid overhead watering and water soil directly to minimize wetting foliage. Shasta daisies can be susceptible to verticillium wilt, leaf spots, and stem rot. Cut back spent foliage, leaves, and blooms after flowering to prolong vitality into summer.

For earlier flowers, start the seeds indoors and transplant them once they have true leaves and good roots. Shasta Daisy blooms from spring to summer in their second year and will die back at the first frost but will come back next year. We recommend either using a slow-release fertilizer or simply working organic compost into the soil each spring to boost growth. Keep weeds down, especially in the early days, so that the plants have a chance to establish themselves. Cut back fading blooms to prolong color and prevent reseeding.
