My African daisies are about 6 inches tall and are lovely. Should I pinch the main stem back to promote side branching? It almost looks like they are ‘trying’ to send out side shoots but I worry if I wait to see what they will do, it will be too late to pinch. What has been your experience with them? SPRING FEVER HAS SET IN!! Keriann~ |

| I'm not an expert and I've never started them from seed, but when I buy them from the garden centre, I often snip mine off fairly soon after planting and also quite often during the growing season. They get nice and bushy and sturdy. I grow them every year. I don't even remember how tall they're supposed to get, but mine are always about 8 or 9 inches tall, bloom like crazy and they're beautiful =:) |
