How to Seed Marguerite Yellow Daisy (Anthemis tinctoria)

1. Sowing Time:
   Sow indoors from February to April, or directly outdoors in April to June after the danger of frost has passed. In mild climates, you can also sow in autumn (September–October) for earlier blooms the next spring.

2. Sowing Depth:
   Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil and press gently — do not cover, as light helps germination.

3. Soil:
   Prefers well-drained, light, sandy, or loamy soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil. Marguerite Daisies thrive in poor to moderately fertile soil.

4. Light & Temperature:
   Choose a sunny position for best flowering. Ideal temperature for germination is 18–22 °C (65–72 °F).

5. Germination Time:
   Seeds usually germinate in 10–20 days under warm, bright conditions.

6. Transplanting:
   When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into pots or garden beds, spacing 25–30 cm apart.

7. Growing Tips:

   • Water moderately; avoid overwatering.

   • Choose a full-sun location — the more sun, the more blooms.

   • Deadhead faded flowers to encourage continuous flowering.

   • The Marguerite Yellow Daisy produces bright golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom from early summer through autumn and attract butterflies and bees.
