Know before you buy
Cold stratification mimics winter conditions to break seed dormancy and improve germination rates. You can achieve this by placing your seeds in a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag in the refrigerator for a few weeks before planting.
Gloriosa Daisies are typically grown as biennials or short-lived perennials. They will establish themselves in your garden and often return for a second season.
For the best airflow and growth, space your plants 12 to 24 inches apart. This ensures they have enough room to reach their mature height of up to 4 feet without crowding.
Yes, they are excellent cut flowers. Their sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make them a popular choice for fresh bouquets.
While they thrive best in full sun, they are quite adaptable and will tolerate partial shade. Just keep in mind that they may produce fewer blooms compared to those grown in full sun.
You can expect these plants to reach maturity and begin blooming in approximately 110 to 120 days after planting.
