Re: Chrysanthemums 'Shasta Daisy"


Unaware that Shasta daisies could be done from root cuttings. 

They propagate easily from the stolon-like shoots that emerge near the
outside of the clump.  Many of these will have roots and can simply be
removed and transplanted or potted.  If no roots, they will form them
quickly if kept moist and shaded.  Generally I don't use a root inducing
substance on them. I use a polytent or dome over a flat.  Usually done a
bit later in the summer to allow for maximum carbohydrate storage.
