How to Seed Swan River Daisy Mixed (Brachyscome iberidifolia)

1. Best Time to Sow (Gulf Region):

   • Outdoors: From October to February, when temperatures range between 15–28°C (59–82°F).

   • Indoors or greenhouse: From December to February for earlier flowering plants.

   • Avoid sowing from April to September, as high heat reduces germination and flowering.

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

3. Soil:
   Prefers well-drained, fertile, and slightly sandy soil.
   Ideal Gulf mix: 40% garden soil + 30% peat moss + 20% perlite + 10% compost.
   Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot in humid or hot weather.

4. Light & Temperature:

   • Germination temperature: 18–22°C (64–72°F).

   • Place the seed tray in bright, indirect light or partial sun.

   • Maintain moderate humidity — cover lightly with plastic wrap until seedlings appear.

5. Germination Time:
   Seeds germinate in 7–14 days under warm, moist, and bright conditions.

6. Transplanting:

   • When seedlings are 5–8 cm tall, transplant outdoors or into pots.

   • Space plants 20–25 cm apart for compact, spreading growth.

   • Choose morning sun and afternoon shade locations for best results in Gulf climates.

7. Growing Tips for Gulf Climate:

   • Sunlight: Prefers full to partial sun; too much afternoon heat can wilt the plant.

   • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water in early morning or evening.

   • Feeding: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2–3 weeks for continuous blooming.

   • Maintenance: Remove spent flowers regularly to extend the blooming period.

   • The Swan River Daisy Mixed variety produces a colorful carpet of blue, violet, pink, and white daisy-like flowers, perfect for borders, rock gardens, and hanging pots.

   • Blooms from late winter through early summer in Gulf regions.
