How to Grow Leucanthemum from Seed

Sow onto moist well drained compost just covering the seed with a little soil or vermiculite. Light is needed for germination which can take 3-4 weeks at an ideal temperature of 55-60F (13-16C). If germination doesn't occur, cold stratify by moving into a temperature of 39F (4C) for 2-4 weeks and then return back into the warm. The seedlings can be transplanted when large enough to handle into 8cm pots. Harden off and then plant out once all danger of frost has passed. We would recommend you pinch out the growing tips and first set of leaves in May to produce a bushier plant and deadhead or cut flowers to extend the flowering period At the first sign of frosts, cut plant down to ground level and divide every 3-4 years as soon as the growth begins to appear in the spring.
