One garden owner doesn't want them and destroys them, another plants or sows them extra - the daisies. They grow in meadows and along roadsides or are planted in balcony boxes and flower beds.
The daisies germinate about two to three weeks after sowing

There are seeds for the common meadow daisy and also for the various cultivated forms on the market. You will receive the seeds sorted by color and variety or in various mixtures. The Australian daisy, also known as the blue daisy because of its colour, is very decorative, but botanically it is not a daisy at all. You can also get these seeds in specialist shops or on the Internet.
An interesting variant of the seed bag are so-called seed bombs or seed bombs. They consist of a mixture of seeds, clay powder and hummus. Throw these "bombs" at the desired seed location and see what happens. The contained humus nourishes the seeds and the clay powder prevents them from drying out. Seedbombs are not only used in your own garden, but also to beautify fallow areas.
Sow correctly
To distribute the small daisy seeds better, mix them with some sand. Then sprinkle this mixture on the bed or lawn where the flowers are to grow. You can also sow daisies in pots. However, keep in mind that the optimal germination temperature is around 18 °C. The warm living room is therefore not well suited for cultivation.
Daisies germinate in the light, the seeds may only be covered with a little soil. Keep the seeds well moist during germination. The daisy germinates after about two to three weeks and, depending on the variety, is about 5 - 20 cm tall. You can only look forward to flowering in the second year. If that takes too long for you, plant daisies that you bought.
The essentials in brief:
- light germinator
- Keep seeds well moist
- ideal germination temperature 18 °C
- sow widely
