Blue daisies are native to Australia. The pretty balcony flowers with their blue flowers are not hardy. However, they can be grown for several years if you overwinter them in a frost-free place.
How to overwinter blue daisies?
Blue daisies should be brought indoors before the first frost and overwintered in a cool, bright place at 6-14°C. Sparse watering prevents the plant from drying out. After the Ice Saints she can go outside again.
