An intense scent flows from the center of the flower. The edge is lined with bright ray florets, which are colored differently depending on the species and variety. This bloom lasts a long time if you handle the daisy correctly!
When is the daisy's flowering time and how do I promote it?
The flowering period of the daisy extends from May to October, with the main flowering period usually beginning in June. For a long flowering period, you should choose humus-rich, heavy soil, a sunny, wind-protected location and regularly remove spent flowers and yellow leaves.
Flowering period: May to October
The daisy blooms usually at the beginning of June and rarely in May. The flowers can be admired until the first frost comes. Even the well-known Bornholm daisy blooms from May to September.
Indications for a long flowering period
So that the flowering period can last almost half a year, the following tips are helpful:
- Use humic, heavy soil
- choose a sunny and wind-protected location
- clean out old flowers regularly
- remove yellow leaves
- Keep soil moist
- fertilize regularly when grown in pots
Tip
If you don't cut off the flowers, the daisy will quickly exhaust itself and produce seeds. The result is often abundant self-seeding.
