Cultivation:
Lavender Mist Sun Daisies produce an abundance of flowers from
late April until the end of the growing season. The flowers first
emerge white and turn light lavender as the flower ages.
Lavender Mist Sun Daisies are a clump forming perennial that is
easy to grow. Plant Sun Daisies in full sun to light shade in well worked, fertile well
drained soil. Lavender Mist Sun Daisies prefer a wind sheltered, warm location.
They tolerate most soil types and drought well.
Spent flowers should be removed to promote new flower growth.
Lavender Mist grows well in containers but we recommend using the
annual varieties for pots.
Propagation:
Seed can be planted directly in the ground once danger of frost
has passed. For quicker growth purchase pre-started Lavender Mist
Sun Daisy plants at
your local Garden Center. Space new container grown plant 8"
to 12" apart depending on how quickly you wish the are to
fill in.
