Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose an area with heavy, well-draining soil that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 6-8 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. If the soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in some sand or compost to improve drainage. Optionally, form rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 18 inches apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage, ensure good airflow, and make harvesting for cut flowers easier. Lay down 1/2"-3/4" peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil, the soil surface. This layer is beneficial for flower seeds because it can the improve the germination environment and prevent soil crusting.

Planting:

Livingstone Daisy thrives in hot weather, preferring growing temperatures of 70F-100F.

Starting Indoors: For earlier blooms, you may optionally start planting indoors in containers 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in Spring, keeping seedlings at least 70F. Harden off then transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location when temperatures are consistently above 70F or night temperatures are consistently above 50F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the transplant holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting.

Directly Sowing: If directly sowing outdoors, plant in spring when the soil reaches at least 70F or when night temperatures are consistently above 50F. Fall planting is not recommended unless planting outdoors in environments with mild, frost-free winters, or planting indoors with supplemental grow lights. If fall planting, plant in containers to prepare to store plants indoors over winter.

To plant, make holes 1/2 inch deep and spaced 10 inches apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 2-3 seeds per hole, then cover thinly with soil. In small plots, flower seeds may be scattered and gently watered in. Once seedlings emerge, plants can separated and spaced 10 inches apart to allow room for mature plants to spread and prevent overcrowding. Water after planting.

Planting Depth:	1/2 inch
Within-Row Spacing:	10 inches
Between-Row Spacing:	18-24 inches

Care During the Season:

Livingstone Daisy thrives with minimal care, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, vibrant bloomer. It prefers full sun and well-draining, sandy or rocky soil, ensuring its roots do not sit in excess moisture. Watering should be done sparingly, as this drought-tolerant plant is highly resistant to dry conditions. Fertilizing lightly once a month with a balanced or low-nitrogen fertilizer can encourage more blooms. Deadheading is not necessary, but occasional trimming can help maintain a compact and tidy shape. Livingstone Daisy is heat-loving and will bloom continuously throughout the season, adding brilliant color to any garden or container.
