Sow Indoors or Outdoors:
Start indoors 8-10 weeks prior to final frost date. Once germinated, move to fluorescent grow light until two sets of true leaves have grown. Transplant seedlings to indoor pot and harden off if transplanting outside.
Avoid overhead watering and water soil directly to minimize wetting foliage. Shasta daisy can be susceptible to verticillium wilt, leaf spots, and stem rot. Plants will benefit from partial shade during severe summers. Cut back spent foliage, leaves, and blooms after flowering to prolong vitality into summer.
