How to Grow
Sow Chrysanthemum flower seeds directly outdoors in the late fall. The cold winter temperatures actually help the flower seeds to germinate in the spring when the temperatures warm up. Pinch back young daisy plants to keep them bushy. Grow Chrysanthemum plants in a rich, well-drained, evenly moist soil and in full sun. Good drainage in winter is essential for Oxeye Daisies. Deadhead the spent flowers regularly. Tall plants may require staking.
