• Botanical name: Bellis perennis

• Expected germination time: 10–20 days under suitable conditions*

How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 2–3 mm — light-loving seed; barely cover.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (partial sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 10–20 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Partial sun
• Water: Keep the soil slightly moist, but not wet. Water when the top inch dries.
• Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with compost, moisture-retentive.
• Temperature: 10–25C
• Fertiliser: A balanced liquid feed every 3–4 weeks.

Sowing season in India

September–October (winter season). In the hills, spring too. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

The plant fails as soon as heat (30°C+) arrives — it is a pure winter flower.
