Flower Daisy Paper 1000 Non-GMO, Heirloom Seeds
Flower Daisy Paper is a dual-purpose everlasting flower that excels both fresh and dried. This heirloom, non-GMO variety produces delicate blooms with papery pink petals that brighten garden beds and make exceptional cut flowers for indoor arrangements. The real magic happens when you dry them: harvest stems as the buds near opening, bundle and hang them upside down in a dark, well-ventilated space, and within three to five weeks you will have perfectly preserved flowers ready for winter bouquets, wreaths, crafts, and long-lasting décor. That extended usability makes Paper Daisy an economical choice, since one planting yields months of enjoyment. Blooming in about 60 days.
Germination Rate: 93%. Test Date: 4/26. AWSC.
Why Choose Paper Daisy?
- Fresh and Dried: One planting gives you both summer cut flowers and everlasting dried blooms for winter.
- Papery Pink Petals: Distinctive crisp, straw-like texture that holds its color for years once dried.
- Quick to Bloom: First flowers in about 60 days from sowing.
- Excellent Cut Flower: Long straight stems and a long vase life make it a florist favorite.
- Pollinator Friendly: Open, daisy-form blooms draw bees and butterflies all season.
- Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down for generations and true to type — save your own seed year after year.
- Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
Planting Tips for Success
- Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 to 8 hours per day for the strongest stems and heaviest bloom.
- Soil: Light, well-drained soil. Paper Daisy tolerates poor and sandy ground and dislikes wet feet.
- Planting: Surface sow or barely cover after the last frost, as these seeds benefit from light to germinate. Can also be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks early.
- Spacing: Thin or transplant to 9 to 12 inches apart to allow good airflow around the plants.
- Watering: Water to establish, then water sparingly. This is a drought-tolerant flower once rooted.
- Fertilizing: Go light. Rich soil and heavy nitrogen produce floppy foliage at the expense of blooms.
- Support: In windy sites or rich beds, a low grid or a few stakes keeps cutting stems straight.
- Deadheading: Keep cutting. Removing spent blooms pushes the plant to flower again and again through the season.
- Harvesting for Drying: Cut just as the buds begin to open, strip the lower leaves, bundle loosely, and hang upside down in a dark, airy room for three to five weeks.
