HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Bellis Perennis seeds in late fall or early spring; plant just below the surface, compress the soil lightly, and water occasionally. To start the seed indoors, plant it just under the surface; keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F until germination, which should take place within 10-15 days. Transplant or thin the seedlings.
Growing: These plants prefer moist ground, but also grow in well-drained soil; they do not tolerate clay. Water the plants occasionally, making sure the soil remains fairly moist. The plants will become established in their first year of growth, and bloom in the second. In most climates they will bloom in the spring and again in late summer, though they may bloom all season in some areas. For the most blooms, remove faded flowers to allow for new ones. When blooming begins to slow, allow the flowers to remain and produce seed for new plants next year. These daisies will self slow and spread quickly, and are considered invasive in some areas. They can tolerate mowing down to a height of one inch, making a fast growing and hardy ground cover.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut the stems at ground level and place them in water immediately.
Seed Saving: The mature seed head will turn brown and may split. Cut off the ripe heads and spread them out to dry completely, away from direct sunlight. Thresh the heads to separate the seed. Store English Daisy seeds in a cool, dry place.

Great Seeds
I ordered some more lawn daisy seeds to seed some more blank areas in the yard. I received the order in less than a week. Last year"s daisies are blooming! They are wonderful!
Seed packet
Seeds were packaged in a unique packet. Packet was resealable and kept moisture from getting into seeds after once opened. Also received packet within a few days of ordering
Service...
As it's still too early to plant the English daisies, I can only applaud the service...
DaIsies
Seeds came in a few days
Speedy delivery
My seeds got here very quickly! Thanks. Now to see if they actually grow...
Grows really fast
The seeds arrived very quickly after making the purchase. The seeds are super small. They were like dried fish food flakes, but even smaller. At first I thought they would not germinate, but boy was I wrong. These tiny flat seeds germinated almost to 90%. It is just a pain in the tush to individually plant them shallowly in pots. If you do not care if a bunch grows, then just lightly sprinkle it and drizzle some soil on top. They germinate fairly quickly 3-5 days. I would recommend this as a ground cover if you do not mind the weedy personality. If not just plant them in pots.
I love their price and the 10% discount
Also came in Mylar. I forgot to order cosmos bipinattus dwarf at $45.00.If I order now, can I still have 10% discount nd shipped to my Va address? that way I can avoid tax and bringing it to Virginia as I will be there on March 16.
