Positive | On Oct 23, 2009, CLScott from Calgary, Tidy Tips daisies are an excellent wildflower. It grows quickly from seed and also reseeds itself. Here in Alberta, Canada, I would recommend doing two seedings : one in early spring and another in June. This would prolong the bloom season for this plant. It looks great when seeded near Lauren's Grape poppies. |
