The Daisy Painted Robinsons Blend, 'Chrysanthemum coccineum', has bright beautiful 3 inch daisy-like flowers on long stems which makes the Painted Daisy a great cut flower.

The single and double 3 inch, daisy-like flowers are pink, red, and white with yellow centers. They bloom in the spring to early summer for 2 to 4 weeks. Some fall bloom may be possible if plants are cut down to just above the ground level after the initial bloom. The Robinsons Blend Daisy prefers full sun except in very hot climates where light afternoon shade is recommended. Painted Daisy prefer light, rich, and well drained soils that should be kept moist but not soggy. Plant in the spring, 2 weeks before the average last frost date or in the summer up to 2 months before the first fall frost. The Painted Daisy is excellent as a cut flower. ... more information
