How to Germinate Seeds From English Daisies

The English daisy, known for its soft, white petals and golden-yellow center, brings springtime cheer to outdoor gardens and sunny windowsills. Some varieties of English daisy also have pink petals that add a dash of color to your yard. In the northwestern United States, English daisy is often thought of as a weed when found in lawns, because it tends to spread if not contained.
