Are Daisies Indoor or Outdoor Plants?

Daisies are a beautiful flower that add a cheery, lively touch to any garden or indoor living space. But are daisies indoor or outdoor plants?

The answer to this question depends on the variety of daisy you have.

The most common type of daisy is the English Daisy, also known as Bellis Perennis. This variety grows best in direct sunlight and slightly moist soil, making it ideally suited for outdoor gardens.

It can survive in partial shade and drier soils, but will not bloom as vibrantly as when grown in optimal conditions. The English Daisy is hardy and can survive through the winter months in many climates.

The Shasta Daisy is another popular variety of daisy, which is even more tolerant of cold temperatures than the English Daisy. This species grows best in full sun and well-draining soil and can thrive outdoors even in colder climates. They are ideal for adding bursts of bright color to your garden beds.

However, there are some varieties of daisy that do better indoors. These include Gerbera Daisies and Oxeye Daisies. Gerbera Daisies prefer warm temperatures (over 65°F or 18°C) and need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive indoors. Oxeye Daisies also require plenty of light but can tolerate cooler temperatures (down to 45°F or 7°C).

In conclusion, the answer to whether daisies are indoor or outdoor plants depends on the variety you have chosen. Most daisy varieties prefer growing outside where they can get plenty of sunlight and moisture, while some varieties such as Gerbera Daisies and Oxeye Daisies may be grown indoors with proper care.
