HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Dahlberg daisy seeds in spring, pressing into the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 1-2 weeks. This plant can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost of spring.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Since they prefer dry soil, mature plants tolerate drought and poor soil well. They also grow well in shallow, rocky soil or gravel. Deadhead for continued blooming. This plant will self-seed readily, and attracts butterflies and bees. It makes an excellent ground cover or border, in addition to performing well as a container plant.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: Allow the yellow daisy flowers to mature into fluffy seed heads. Watch carefully, since the light seeds can easily fly away on the wind. Remove the heads and spread them out to dry completely, away from directed sunlight. Separate the seed from the plant material. Store the cleaned daisy wildflower seeds in a cool, dry place.

Dahlberg Daisy
These are possibly my favorite annual. I do not know why these seeds are so hard to find, as they grow from seed so easily. These bright yellow daisies on a small cushion of fine, lemony smelling leaves are a delight in containers or edging. People will ask where you got them!
Flower Seeds
I ordered flower seeds online and was very surprised when they arrived only a few days after ordering. The particular seeds I ordered are not available everywhere, so I was happy to find a place that carried them.
