Are daisies annuals or perrenials? do you have to let annuals die to keep growing them?
Question:i am growing multiple annual plants, like tomatoes and onions. if i bring them inside during the winter, will they continuously grow or do i have to let them die out during the winter so they will flourish. also, i am letting my toddler grow daisies, if they die will they grow again next year?
Answers:
i always over winter my plants in my garage! and yes ur daisies will come back if u let them go to seed! stop deadheading towards the end of the growing season and this will happen naturally!
You should let the annuals die. Annuals are only good for one year. They regrow the next year from the seeds they produced. Daisies are perennials and will come back year after year if taken care of.
Daisies are basically perennial weeds and will come up year after year. Annuals die off in the winter and must be replaced every year, if left outside. Beyond that, I don't know. Next fall, get your toddler some crocus, daffodil, and tulip bulbs (quite cheap) and plant them. They'll come up in the spring and he'll/she'll be thrilled.
There are both annual and perennial daisies . Bringing them in won't work , without a lot of manipulation (not worth it ) . Even if you could create adequate conditions(not likely ) , most are day-length sensitive, so would require some manipulation of photoperiod to bloom (not worth it, unless you are commercially growing cut flowers)
this question is specific to your growing zone. i live in an area where some perennials die each year and therefore become annuals. talk to your local nursery or Home Depot garden center. your toddler can experience a garden with more than just daisies.
The natural cycle of annuals is to germinate, grow, bloom, form seed and die. This is usually within one year - hence their name. Perennials (I believe daisies are in this category) generally have another form of reproduction in addition to seeds, such as bulbs, division, cuttings, and will last several years, if all goes well, such as nothing eats them and the climate is suitable. There are also biennials - their cycle spreads over two years; I would put onions in this category. I don't think there would be enough light in the house for tomatoes. If the daisies die back with the change of season, they will probably come back next year. If they die for another reason, they may be dead rather than dormant.
Daisies are biannuals. They don't bloom the first year when planted from seed. They will bloom the second season and reseed.
You cannont overwinter tomatoes. Annuals must be replanted yearly either from seed or new plants.
