HOW TO GROW
Sowing: For the best growth, start African daisy flower seeds indoors in late winter. Sow on the surface in a flat, covering them thinly with soil; keep the soil consistently moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees until germination, which should take place within 10-14 days. Transplant outdoors when the soil has thoroughly warmed, several weeks after the last frost. In warmer climates, African daisy flower seeds can be direct sown; cover them lightly to keep them from blowing away, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
Growing: This plant adapts well to poor or dry soil. Keep seedlings consistently moist until they have become established; mature plants are fairly drought tolerant, though they will grow well with regular watering. These African daisy plants take about three months to flower when grown from seed. Deadheading will help the plant produce the most blossoms. Though an annual, it will reseed itself and come back as a perennial if allowed to drop its seed. This plant grows well in rock gardens or dry areas, and attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: This lovely daisy closes without the rays of the sun, and does not make a suitable cut flower.
Seed Saving: After flowering, this plant will produce flat, papery seeds. Since they the wind often blows them away, they should be gathered as soon as they have ripened to a light tan color. Shake the seeds into a container. Store African daisy flower seeds in a cool, dry place.
