How to grow garbera daisy from seed

4. Let the soil dry between waterings. Keep the soil moist until germination. Water established plants when the top inch of soil is dry—about an inch of water a week during the growing season. During the winter, water once a month. Soil that is too wet can lead to fungal disease, powdery mildew, or root rot, so water the plant close to the ground to prevent crown rot.
5. Plant sprouted daisies 12 to 18 inches apart. Once the seeds have germinated, transplant the seedlings outdoors in early spring. Plant the seeds in peat or paper pots directly in the ground to avoid disturbing the roots, and ensure that the crown of the plant (the area where the stem and roots meet) is slightly above the soil level.

Deadhead the flowers to extend bloom time. Deadhead spent blooms by cutting the stem down to the next bud or leaf to encourage more flowers and leaf growth.
