Start White Cape Daisy seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.
Transplant outdoors once temperatures are consistently warm and seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves.
Plant Care & Blooming
Provide full sun and fertile, well-drained soil for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Water regularly while plants are becoming established, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage additional blooms and maintain a neat appearance. Avoid consistently wet soil, as good drainage is important for healthy roots.
Note: White Cape Daisy performs best in moderate temperatures. In areas with very hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plants from excessive heat and extend flowering.
