What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Shasta Daisy seeds can be started early indoors or direct-sown in the garden during spring or late summer.

Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last expected spring frost. Sow in a quality soilless growing medium and maintain a temperature of 20°C for the 14 to 21 day germination period. Keep sprouted seedlings under grow lights at a cool temperature of 15°C before hardening off and transplanting outdoors after spring frost danger passes.
