Growing Instructions
- Sow in late spring/early summer outdoors in a sheltered, shady site in a well prepared seed bed about 6mm (¼in) deep. You can sow the seeds equally in pots or trays if there is not enough space.
- Germination in 14-21 days at around 20°C (68°F).
- You should prick the seedlings out when large enough to handle (pricked-out seedlings have a better root system).
- You can grow thin seedlings outside to 10-15cm (4-6in) apart when they are large enough to handle and finally transplant to flowering site in autumn 23cm (9in) apart in sun or part shade for flowering the following spring.
- “Bellis” requires full sun. You should avoid damp situations and you should take care not to over-water the plants.
