Chrysanthemum carinatum

- FAST FACTS
HOW TO GROW
Sowing: After the last frost of spring, direct sow Chrysanthemum Carinatum seeds on the surface of the soil and press down lightly for good soil contact. To start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, sow in a flat and press lightly into the top of lightly moistened soil. Keep the moisture consistent and the temperature around 70 degrees F until germination, which should take place within 14-20 days. When the seedlings reach a height of several inches and there is no chance of frost, transplant them outdoors.
Growing: These plants adapt to many soils, though they appreciate well-drained, evenly moist soil. Water the seedlings regularly until they become established; mature plants also appreciate occasional watering, especially when in bloom. Pinch back the tips of the developing plants for healthy, bushy foliage. For the longest blooming, remove the spent blossoms. To survive the winter, these plants must remain in soil that drains well.
Harvesting: Daisies make long lasting fresh flowers; cut the stems long and place them in water immediately.
Seed Saving: Late in the season, allow the blossoms to fully mature; when the centers turn brown, cut them off and spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight. After about two weeks or when the heads have fully dried, rub them lightly to separate the seed from the husks. Store painted daisy seeds in a cool, dry place.
