Thank you for sharing! My grandma just passed away at 102 years old. She loved daisies. I took a few Daisy cuttings from a bouquet after her service. I’m going to try this so I can enjoy one of her favorites.
My shastas turned up in my yard on their own. They have ok flowers, and grown in numbers quite a bit but are very leggy. Any ideas to get them stronger?
It all depends your purpose of propagating in general but if you’re just doing them for more flowers in your yard I would try to have them in the ground by the fall
Once each blossom dries it holds probably 10 to 20 seeds. I wouldn’t just plant the whole dried seed pod but it wouldn’t hurt. You could have a little patch of 10 or so new baby’s the following year in a clump. It’ll take probably2 or three years for your new plants to bloom. But if you propagate off an existing older flowering plant, you’d have your flowers the same year or the year after. With the seeds it’s a slower process, With a propagated cutting you could snip a branch the length of a year 3 year plant, and you’d have blooms a lot faster. Thanks for watching! Have a good day!
@@ilikeyourblooms7967 last fall I took a weed wacker to a bed of shasta daisies and black eyed susans and took several of the dead blooms and planted them shallow in other beds. Where I weed wacked, new flowers filled the whole bed. Where I planted the dead flowers I had new flowers this spring. That make sense? New sub. Thanks!

Thanku for posting the video, i just cut my daisys not knowing this propagation method.
Love your tats!!!
Thank you!
Informative video. I learned something new. Thank you!
Thank you for watching Hope you have a good day!
You can also divide them at the roots.
Yes I’ve also done that as well! Either way works nice!

Maybe at the beginning of the year when they first start growing wait till they get a good size and trim them down a little bit
Do you plant the new plants in same season/fall or wait until spring? Thank you for the informational video!

Nice information I needed this. I have those snippers too. Have they disappeared on you?
If they do, they will come back don't worry.
Yeah I bought a three pack of them on Amazon I still lose them every day 😂 Glad the video helped you keep up the green thumb!
Can you use the blooms for seeds to propagate??? I was told that once the blooms are completely dried up, plant the blooms. Not sure if accurate.
