Choose a color. African daisy comes in nearly every color, but blue with strongly contrasting eyes, or centers, are popular. Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your region s last frost date. Plant seedlings outdoors 8 to 10 inches apart after the last frost. Place them in well-drained soil such as that found in containers, a rock garden, a raised bed or slope.
Sandy soil is excellent.
Keep soil moist but avoid wetting leaves since they re prone to fungal disease. Keep spent flowers pinched off once the plant starts blooming to promote further bloom. Pull the plant out of the garden after the first frost. Starting African daisy from seed is a little tricky. It s a job recommended for those with a some previous seed- starting experience.
