How to grow Robinson's Red Chrysanthemum seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Sow in spring after the last frost, or in late summer for blooms the following year.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Press seeds into the soil surface and cover very lightly (about 1/16 inch) — they germinate best with some light.
• No pre-treatment is needed.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light after sowing.
• Temperature: 64–72°F (18–22°C).

Germination

• Seedlings emerge in 14–21 days.
• Keep the soil lightly moist until sprouts appear.

Transplanting

• Move seedlings out after the last frost; harden off first.
• Space plants 12–18 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to part shade.
• Water: Moderate watering; painted daisies do well in average soil and even tolerate poor soil.
• Fertilizer: Little is needed in average soil.
• Cut flower stems low after blooming to encourage a second flush; divide established clumps every few years.

Bloom Time:

Late spring to summer; plants grown from seed may bloom the first year if started early.
