HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in fall, planting just below the surface of the soil and compressing it lightly.Thin or transplant the seedlings.
Growing: When grown from seed, Engelmannia Pinnatifida plants will develop a deep tap root and basal rosette of leaves in the fall, sending up flowering stalks for spring and summer blooms. Keep seedlings watered until they are established; mature plants will only need water in exceptionally dry periods, since their deep root system gives them excellent drought tolerance. This plant will continue blooming even in heat and drought conditions, though the petals often fold under with intense heat. If blooming decreases, cut the plant back by half for new growth and blooming. Engelmannia Pinnatifida plant will reseed itself and attracts bees and butterflies.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water.
Seed Saving: As the flower heads mature, they will develop dry seed that can easily be removed. Since birds love to eat this seed, harvest it immediately to prevent loss. Cut or strip the seed heads from the plant, and thresh them to separate the seed. Store the Engelmann daisy seeds in a cool, dry place.

The seeds were shipped quickly and packaged very well. I haven't planted the seeds yet, but based on how they came, I'm expecting great things from them.
So far, so good. A very positive experience.
I ordered, Everwilde delivered, the packaging and quality of the entire experience were very good, very positive. It's too early to assess quality of the seeds with respect to germination, but so far I very much like the purchasing experience, the quality of packaging is excellent, the seeds looked good I recommend
