Description
Mr Fothergill’s Daisy Goliath Mix Seeds, Big ‘double’ daisies for spring colour. If transplanting to their flowering positions during a dry spell, be sure to water the ground well before planting out, to help them establish.
Sow indoors for surest results, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle 5cm apart to other trays. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 15cm apart. Or sow outdoors in a seed bed, 0.5cm deep, into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart before planting out to flowering position in autumn.
• A hardy biennial, flowers the year after sowing
• Large, long lasting mainly double flowers
• Perfect for spring bedding, containers and edging
