🗓 When to Plant (Best Timing)

Bellis loves cool weather. Planting time depends on your climate:

Cool / Mild Climates (USDA Zones 7–10)

• Sow in late summer to fall for blooms the next spring.

• Can also sow very early spring.

Cold Winter Climates (Zones 3–6)

• Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost, then transplant outside early spring.

• Or sow outdoors in early spring as soon as soil can be worked.

Tip: If summers are hot where you live, Bellis will bloom best before heat arrives.

🌱 How to Sow Seeds

Bellis seeds are tiny and need light to germinate.

1. Fill trays/pots with moist seed-starting mix.

2. Sprinkle seeds on the surface.

3. Do not cover (or cover with the thinnest dusting of soil/vermiculite).

4. Mist gently to settle seeds.

5. Cover with a clear humidity dome or plastic wrap.

6. Keep in a bright spot.

Germination: 7–21 days
Ideal temp: 60–70°F (15–21°C)

🪴 Transplanting & Spacing

When seedlings have 2–3 true leaves:

• Transplant carefully (roots are delicate).

• Space outdoors 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart.

• Plant at the same depth as in the tray.

☀️ Light Needs

• Full sun in cool climates = compact plants + more flowers.

• Part shade in warm climates (especially afternoon shade) helps blooms last longer.

If temps rise above ~80°F / 27°C regularly, Bellis may slow down.

💧 Watering

Bellis likes steady moisture:

• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

• Water when the top layer feels slightly dry.

• Containers dry faster—check often.

Avoid: letting seedlings dry out completely.

🌾 Soil

• Loose, well-draining, fertile soil is ideal.

• Mix in compost for best results.

• Slightly acidic to neutral pH is perfect, but they’re flexible.

🌸 Feeding

• In pots: feed a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks.

• In garden beds: compost at planting is usually enough.

Too much nitrogen = lots of leaves, fewer flowers.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

• Deadhead (remove spent flowers) to keep blooms coming.

• If plants get tired mid-season, trim back lightly to refresh.

• Mulch helps keep roots cool and moist.

🐛 Common Issues

Leggy seedlings
→ Not enough light or too warm. Give brighter light and cooler temps.

No blooms yet
→ They need cool conditions and time. Most bloom after establishing, especially in spring.

Heat stress
→ Normal in hot summers. Provide shade + water; blooms return in cool fall weather.

❄️ Overwintering (Optional)

In mild zones, Bellis can survive winter and rebloom.
In cold zones, treat as a spring annual unless protected.

🌟 Pro Tip for Maximum Blooms

Sow a little extra and plant in small clumps—Bellis looks best when it forms a soft patch of pom-pom flowers. Gorgeous with pansies, violas, snapdragons, and dusty miller.
