Zones 5-9 Germination Nipponanthemum nipponicum, or Montauk Daisy, can be grown from seeds, though it's worth noting that it can be a bit slow to establish from seed. To germinate these seeds, start indoors in late winter or early spring. Sow the seeds in a seed tray or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix. Lightly press the seeds onto the soil surface without covering them, as they require light for germination. Maintain consistent moisture by misting or using a humidity dome, and place the tray or pots in a warm location, around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Germination can take several weeks, so be patient. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots or into the garden, spacing them about 18 inches (45 cm) apart. Montauk Daisies are known for their longevity and late-season blooms, making them a charming addition to any garden.
