Lucinda’s Everlasting T-Shirt

Getting Started with Your Everlastings

Grow a vibrant display of everlasting daisies with a little planning and care. Follow these simple steps for choosing the right location, sowing your seeds, and looking after your plants to enjoy a long-lasting, colourful garden.

Before You Sow

1. Choose a sunny spot in your garden, or place pots where they’ll get plenty of sunlight.
2. Choose a well drained location. Everlasting plants can tolerate a degree of intermittent waterlogging, however it is important to ensure good drainage in the stages of germination and establishment.
3. If planting in pots, fill with a good quality potting mix.
4. Remove all weeds and clear the area.
5. Loosen the soil if it’s compacted to help roots grow easily.
6. Make sure the soil is moist before sowing.
7. Sow at a time suited to your local climate. See our sowing table below.

Sowing Your Seeds

1. Scatter seeds directly onto the soil surface at a rate of 1 gram per 1 square metre.
2. Gently rake or pat down the soil so seeds are just slightly covered.
3. Water lightly after sowing.
4. Protect seedlings from pets, pests (especially snails), and harsh weather until well established.

Best Months to Sow

Care Tips

1. Germination usually takes 2–14 days, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.
2. Keep an eye out for weeds and remove them as needed.
3. If growing in pots, water regularly to prevent them drying out.
4. At around 6 weeks, you can lightly fertilise with a general-purpose fertiliser (optional).
5. To extend your flowering period, you can stagger your planting. Sprinkle more seeds over existing everlastings once they’ve germinated.
6. Avoid overwatering, this can cause stems to rot and collapse.
7. Don’t sow too thickly, overcrowded plants may grow spindly and weak.
8. Avoid sowing too early in the season, plants may grow too tall and fall over before flowering.
9. Everlastings will typically flower within 80–90 days after sowing.
10. Once flowering has finished, remove the dead stalks and wait for the next season’s self-seeded seedlings to emerge.
