... if you plant the seeds NOW. Start them now in pots in a sunny
spot and transplant them to the garden ...

Done!

Give them some protection for the winter (a good mulch) ...

The tall Alaska shasta daisy that I planted last year didn't need any
protection in winter. They remained green throught out the winter (but
looked kind of weak). But I will mulch the dwarf version that I am
growing now ... just in case.

Have a happy weekend!
(or have a happy July-4th if you are in US)
