Livingston Daisies - no flowers
 

Hi,

I've got 2 pots of livingston daisies which have grown to a nice full size
(and have been so for approx 2 months), but still no sign of any flowers.

They have been well watered and get approx half sun/half shade during the
day. Anyhting obvious I could be doing wrong?

Thanks

Andrew

hi,
I believe it has something to do with this years climate, in the UK anyway.
I grew two tray fulls this year some are in hanging baskets, and some in
borders, all plants are healthy and very bushy but shy in flowering, and the
flowers are very small. At first i fed with miracle grow for three feeds,
(got free sample sachet) after that fed with half strength phostrogen but
still flower shy.
Oh well, there's always next year.
regards
Cineman

Try giving them dry conditions in full sun; don't feed them.

Yup. And the cold and wet. We grew them in Africa, and the Sunset
book recommends full sun (in the USA!) But it may also be a good
idea to grow them in poor soil, and NOT fertilise them after their
initial growth.
