Step 2 – Prepare Your Soil THIS Way!

 

 

Locate the area of your flower garden or yard where you want to plant your daisies.

 

• Daisies do best in an area that receives partial to full afternoon sun.
• The soil should be well-draining and should be neutral to slightly acidic (6.0 – 7.0 pH level).
• The flower garden should be well protected from wind and heavy rain.

 

Mix 3 inches of Flower Garden Soil to the top 6 inches of your garden soil.

 

Step 3 – Simply Plant Your Daisy Bulbs

 

To have the most success planting your bulbs you should simply dig a hole 8 inches deep and plant 10 daisy bulbs next to each other.

*Make sure the Daisy Bulbs “pointy” part is facing up*

Then mix flower fertilizer (that has a 10-10-10 NPK ratio) in the hole (according to the instructions). And then fill the holes with your flower and garden soil mix.

Next, water your daisy bulbs for 15 seconds. This will help promote the start of root growth. Continue to water your bulbs for 15 seconds once a week for the first month.

Then continue this process for as many bulbs as you want to grow. Make sure to spread each set of 10 daisy bulbs 4 inches apart.

Step 4 – Do THIS in the Winter

At the beginning of winter, you will want to mulch your flower garden bed.

After you mulch, the flower garden bed does nothing else to your daisy bulbs for the rest of winter.

Step 5 – And do THIS in the Spring

Once the year becomes spring and your daisies grow leaves then you should add flower fertilizer again.

Then water your daisies once a week until your daisies bloom.

As soon your daisy petals fall off the flower deadhead it.

And make sure to keep your leaves on the flower for 6 weeks while your flower absorbs and retains energy for next year’s bloom.

Step 6 – Maintain minimal maintenance in the summer

Once it becomes falls you should cut the stem and leaves of your daisies where it meets the soil.

Do not water your daisies in the fall. Do not fertilize your daisies in the fall. Simply leave your daisies in the ground all fall.
