Propagate daisies using a DIY flower “bouquet”
Instead of buying new plants, you can propagate daisies from existing ones. Trim off healthy daisy stems and group them like a bouquet.
Remove the lower leaves, place the stems in water, and once roots begin to form, plant them directly into soil. You’ll have new daisy plants ready to bloom.
Eggshell planters for daisies
Use eggshells as tiny, biodegradable planters for daisy seedlings. Crack the top of the eggs, empty them, and fill the shells with potting soil.
Plant daisy seeds in the eggshells, and once they sprout, plant the entire eggshell in your garden. The eggshells will decompose, adding calcium to the soil.
Create a daisy lawn
If you love daisies, consider replacing patches of grass with daisy plants. These charming flowers will spread over time, creating a meadow-like lawn that requires less maintenance than grass. It’s great for adding a wild, natural look to your garden.
Make daisy chains for mulching
Instead of using typical mulch, try making decorative daisy “chains’’ by placing cut flowers or spent daisies around the base of your plants.
Not only does it look whimsical, but as the flowers break down, they add organic material to the soil and help retain moisture.
Daisy petal natural indicator for soil health
Daisies can be used as a natural indicator of your garden’s soil health. They thrive best in well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
If you notice your daisies turning yellow or struggling, it may be time to test the pH and drainage of your garden bed.
Grow daisies in containers for easy relocation
Daisies grow beautifully in pots or containers, making it easy to relocate them around your garden. Use this hack to fill bare spots or enhance certain areas with colour.
Plus, container-grown daisies can be brought indoors for sunny window spots or patios.
Attract pollinators with mixed daisy beds
Plant different varieties of daisies together to create a vibrant patch that attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Daisies’ open-faced blooms are perfect for welcoming beneficial insects to your garden.
Daisy petal pathway
Create a unique garden path by planting daisy clusters along the sides of walkways.
This natural border will add a charming, whimsical look to your garden, especially as the flowers sway in the breeze. You can also scatter some petals along the path for a more magical feel.
