This Victorian-era favourite has been grown in cottage gardens for over 150 years and remains one of the most distinctive annual daisies you can grow.

Growing in Pakistan
Painted Daisy is a cool-season flower that performs beautifully in Pakistani winters. For Punjab, Sindh, and most plain regions, sow from September–February; plants establish through winter and bloom from late winter into spring (February–April). In cooler northern hill areas (Murree, Swat, Hunza, Quetta), sowing can extend to March–April for summer blooms. Provide full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate watering. Plants decline once temperatures consistently exceed 30°C, so time sowing for cool weather.
Note: Annual Painted Daisy
This is Chrysanthemum carinatum 'Dunnetti', an annual painted daisy that flowers in its first year from seed. It is different from the perennial florist mums (Chrysanthemum × morifolium) commonly known as Gul-e-Daudi in Pakistan.
