Step 5
Saving Seeds
How to Save Seeds
Saving seeds from your Daisy plant is easy and rewarding! Once the flowers have faded and the centers turn brown and dry, simply snip off the seed heads and gently break them apart over a clean surface to collect the tiny seeds. Let the seeds air dry for a few days, then store them in a labeled envelope or small jar in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to plant again. With just a little effort, you’ll have your own homegrown Daisy seeds ready for next season—anyone can do it, and it’s a wonderful way to keep your garden blooming year after year!
