How to Germinate Shasta Daisy Alaska

How to Germinate Shasta Daisy Alaska (Leucanthemum x superbum 'Alaska')

  • Sow Shasta Daisy Alaska seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date, or directly outdoors in early spring or fall.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them down gently. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 10-14 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
  • Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in well-draining soil.

Additional Tips

  • Shasta Daisy thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during the growing season. Once established, they can tolerate some drought.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain soil temperature.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy garden appearance.
  • Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring or fall to maintain plant vigor and promote healthy growth.
