To properly feed your daisies with the fertilizer you should wait until the daisy flowers have faded and begun falling off your flower.
To have the most success use Daisy Fertilizer. This will help your daisies store nutrients properly for the next season.
For best results, simply follow the instructions on your fertilizer product.
#4. How Do I Cut Daisies?
If you want to display your daisies indoors then cut daisies when the flowers have grown, but not blossomed. It is okay if the flower bud is slightly green, but should have color.
Place the cut daisy in a vase with water at room temperature. Every few days change your water.
If you want your daisies to last longer in the vase then you should add Miracle-Gro for Fresh Cut Flowers.
#5. How Do I Protect my Daisies from Pests
The biggest threat to your daisies is deer, squirrels, and chipmunks. This is when your daisies are growing and blooming.
To prevent your bulbs from digging up place bird netting over the ground where they are planted.
If you are trying to prevent deer then you should use deer repellent. If this does not work then grow your daisy bulbs in pots and containers out of the deer’s reach.
#6. How do I Prevent Common Daisy Diseases
The most common daisy diseases and harmful insects are gray molds, slugs, snail, aphids, nematodes, and bulb rot.
You can help prevent these diseases and harmful insects by using a fungicide spray and an insecticide spray in early spring as green growth begins to emerge.
#7. What are the Best Uses for Daisies?
Daisies are best used for indoor display, but can also add color to raised garden beds, container gardening, or even in your traditional flower garden.
Daisies can complement columbines, azaleas, lilacs, daffodils, crocus, and even hyacinths.
#8. What types of Bulb Should I buy?
Purchasing Daisy Bulbs is a much easier task than say vegetable or herb seeds, where you have to worry about GMOs, Organic, Heirloom, etc.
When buying daisy bulbs you should stick to hybrid or heirloom. These will give you the best success in growing Daisies.
Hybrid Daisy Bulbs are weakened perennials that may or may not come up every year.
Heirloom Daisy Bulbs are perennial bulbs that come up yearly but have a higher risk of contracting a disease, harmful insect, or fungus.
Just as important is where you buy your bulbs from. I recommend buying your seeds from Amazon. This will provide you with the best price and quickest delivery.
#9. What Type of Gardening Pot Should I Buy?
I recommend buying one type of pot.
Buy a 5-gallon pot.
- This is essential if you want to allow your daisies to grow to their fullest. It is also important if you want to continue to grow your daisies outside.
