Painted Mix Daisy brings a burst of color to the garden! This vibrant open-pollinated mix features brilliantly colored bulls-eyed 3-inch blooms with contrasting rings in hues of pink, red, yellow, white, orange, and purple. Unique combinations of colored rings can form on individual flowers at heights of 1-2 feet-tall for a stunning rainbow meadow of blooms. Sow these unique paper-like seeds in Spring and watch these annuals bloom from early to mid-summer and attract butterflies and bees. The Painted Mix Daisy is sometimes called the "Monarch Daisy" because its bright, contrasting colors are reminiscent of the patterns found on monarch butterfly wings and for its attractiveness to butterflies. Painted Mix Daisies are also often used in companion planting as they are attractive to beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and lacewings, which help control garden pests. Try Painted Mix Daisies in elaborate bouquets and cut flower arrangements for added excitement and a cheery display!

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 10 - 12 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last average frost date in Spring. Harden off then transplant seedlings, or direct sow seeds, outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. To direct sow, add 1/2" - 3/4" layer of peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil to top of a mostly sunny and clear area. Broadcast seeds then water to push seeds into area. Keep moist until established.
