How to grow Cape daisy 'Irish'

Keep in mind when planting that Irish is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips.

Growing Irish from seed

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.04 inches (0.1 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Irish about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Irish

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Irish is a half hardy plant.
