I understand they take a while to full bloom. When I opened the packet amazed how small the seeds were!

Tell me your experiences on WS or about this plant.

In my garden they bloomed their second year from seed. Pretty things, worth the wait. The plants need good drainage or they are short-lived.

I tried them once and they didn't come back the second year.

For years I have had this beautiful little flower--I love them. They edge one of my flower beds. They are biennial but you will have flowers next year. They bloom in the spring to early summer and drop their seeds. It sprouts and grows for the summer and the next year they flower. I live in zone 3 so you could probably do this earlier. Around about the end of April I dig out the plants and separate them into clumps--singles are tucked into the clumps too. I leave a space between them to put a low growing annual. They transplant very well. This way I have a nice edging all spring and summer

English daisy/bellis-- easy to grow from seed?

Also, they seem to like the cooler spring weather, so I'd start in very early spring and sow indoors under lights. I always spread the seed that the plants produce outdoors but I never have gotten germination that way.

My husband has the camera on a long trip. (Not that I've ever learned how to post pictures here anyway.) I thought it would be easy to look at daisy pictures and ID this, only to find that 99% focus on the flower, and the leaves are blurry.

Thank You Trudi_d and Prairiemoon2.

I'll put them in compost when they get some size.

I WS them last year, commercial seed from Livingston Seed Co. Great germination, transplanted very well, got some blooms the first year around August. Hoping they live through the winter. My only complaint--the seed pack said they were pom-poms, and they are all standard daisy. I love the standard daisy English Daisy, but I prefer when the flower that grows matches the seed pack label!
