What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Livingstone Daisies thrive in sandy, lean soils and demand full sunlight to open their blossoms.
-
Indoor Starting (Recommended): Start seeds indoors 10 weeks before your last expected spring frost date using a lightweight, well-draining soil-less growing mix. Sow seeds 3 mm deep. Maintain a soil temperature of 16–19°C during the 14 to 30 day germination period. Grow on under lights at slightly cooler temperatures. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
-
Direct Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in late May once soil has warmed and frost risk is over. Sow seeds 3 mm deep and 2.5 cm apart in well-draining, sandy soil in full sun.
-
Thinning & Spacing: Thin or space young plants to 15 cm apart to allow room for the trailing succulent foliage to spread.
-
Site Care: Select a location that receives maximum sun exposure. Ensure soil is sharply drained, as succulents dislike waterlogged conditions.
