August 3, 2019Q.Am I growing Daisies or grass!?
I ordered Gloriosa Daisy and Painted Daisy seeds from Burpee seed. I planted these seeds and when they came up I placed them in individual pots then planted them in dirt. I realize these plants will not bloom until next year. But as they grew they look like grass! Please take a look at the pictures and tell me if what I have is just grass or do Daisies look this way in the first season. I think I am growing Grass.

Certified ExpertA.These are weeds for sure. Is it possible the weeds grew up over the seedlings? I would try picking through here and looking for your real plants and pulling out the weeds. If you find them, mulch them well to prevent more weeds from overtaking them.
Good luck!Was this answer useful?00

Certified ExpertA.This is one of the many daisies, Bellis perennis. This is the pink double-blooming type, which will appear radically different than its white and single-flowered counterparts. They have the same care, though.

68434Q.How Long Can Daisies Survive After Being Dug Up From The Ground Before Transplanting?
Someone gifted me daisies (not sure what variety, he said white petals and yellow centers) that he dug up from his garden, and I have not had a chance to put them in the ground the last 3-4 days. Is all hope lost or should I try to get them in the ground today and hope they’ll revive?

Certified ExpertA.They will usually survive until the soil dries. Unfortunately, your photo did not come through so I cannot see the state of the clump.
The only thing to do is to plant it and wait!
This article will help you to care for them:

July 22, 2020Q.How to kill a weed that has overtaken my dad’s garden.
Years ago my dad’s friend suggested that he put some of his sheep manure on his garden. Ever since then there is a weed that has overtaken his garden. I even tilled my garden and it started growing here. Is there a treatment we could do in the spring to kill it? The first picture is it at full bloom. The second picture is of it taking over this row.

Certified ExpertA.Use a pre-emergent in spring to eradicate quickweed. If any remain dig by hand or use a post-emergent herbicide.

Certified ExpertA.Since you are in Zone 8, you could sink your pots into the ground and mulch over the tops to keep your roots warm. You can also pound in stakes around them, and wrap plastic or burlap around them making little shelters for them. Your other option, of course, is to bring them inside and baby them through the winter. Here's how to do that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/gerbera-daisy/gerbera-daisies-indoors.htm

May 18, 2021Q.What Is Causing My Arctotis Pink Sugar Daisies To Shrivel And Die?
Daisies have been thriving when suddenly become pale in color and flowers die off and plant dies. I have found snails on the plants previously but have been treating with snail bait and am no longer finding snails either alive or dead around the plants. Daisies are being watered regularly with drip irrigation.

Certified ExpertA.If it's beyond just the normal blooming/dying back cycle, your daisies may be suffering from a fungus. Here are two articles that should help:
