African Daisy

How to Plant African Daisies

Many African daisy varieties won’t grow from seed, but you can buy young plants at a garden center and transplant them to your garden. Planting instructions may vary depending on the cultivar, but here are some general planting tips:

Plant new African daisies in the early spring. Plant your daisies in the early spring after the last frost.
Plant your daisies in nutrient-rich soil. Daisies grow best in rich, fertile soil that is well-drained and slightly acidic with 5 or 5.5 pH. Work in compost or fertilizer when you’re planting the daisy to give it some nutrients.

Give daisies room in your garden. Space African daisies at least 12 inches apart.
Keep the soil moist. Water the plant consistently and keep the soil moist until the roots are established.
