Why Grow Everlasting Daisies? Everlasting daisies produce papery flowers that create an impressive display when planted in groups. Their flowers can also provide food for visiting bees, butterflies and other garden pollinators. Many everlasting daisies are annuals, meaning they grow, flower and produce seed within one growing season. Flowering time and duration will depend on the species included, local climate and planting conditions. How to Plant Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Remove weeds and lightly loosen the soil surface. Place the seed bomb directly onto the prepared soil. Press it gently into the surface to ensure good soil contact. Do not bury it deeply. Water thoroughly after planting. Keep the area consistently moist while germination occurs. The seed bomb can also be planted in a large pot or raised garden bed using a quality, free-draining seed-raising or native potting mix. Growing and Care Keep the planting area lightly moist during germination without allowing the soil to become waterlogged. Once seedlings are established, gradually reduce watering and allow the soil surface to begin drying between applications. Avoid strong fertilisers during germination. If feeding is required after establishment, use a mild fertiliser suitable for Australian native plants and follow the product directions. Seedlings can be thinned or carefully transplanted once they have developed several true leaves. Important Note Germination and the number of plants produced cannot be guaranteed. Results are affected by temperature, moisture, planting depth, soil preparation, seed viability, weather and ongoing care. Plant seed bombs only in managed garden beds, raised gardens or pots. Do not throw or plant them in bushland, reserves, roadsides, national parks or other natural areas, as Australian native species are not necessarily indigenous to every local environment. Frequently Asked Questions Does every seed bomb contain every daisy listed? The seed bomb contains a mixed selection of everlasting daisy seeds. The exact species, colour forms and proportions may vary depending on seasonal availability. How many seeds are included? Each seed bomb is rolled with hundreds of everlasting daisy seeds. The number of seedlings that establish will depend on the planting conditions and ongoing care. How long will germination take? Germination varies between species and growing conditions. Some seedlings may emerge within several weeks, while others may take longer. When should I plant it? Plant during mild conditions when the soil can be kept consistently moist. In many areas, autumn and winter sowing can support spring flowering, although suitable timing will vary between climates. Can it be grown in a pot? Yes. Choose a wide pot with drainage holes and use a free-draining seed-raising or native potting mix. A larger container will allow more seedlings to establish and flower. Does it need full sun? A sunny position is recommended for the strongest growth and flowering. Some protection from harsh afternoon sun may benefit seedlings in very hot climates. Will the flowers return every year? Many everlasting daisies are annuals. Established plants may self-seed when conditions are suitable, but future flowering cannot be guaranteed. Are everlasting daisies suitable for pollinators? Their flowers may provide pollen and nectar for native bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects visiting the garden. Can the flowers be dried? Many everlasting daisies retain their papery appearance and colour when dried. Harvest mature flowers during dry weather and hang them upside down in a cool, shaded and well-ventilated position.
