Did you grow these from seed?

Yes, they grow quite well from seed, even my collected seeds. I think they prefer our milder summers, however. Chilly weather contributes to the rosey colors in the foliage.

Is it possible you could tell us how you collected the seeds from the livingstone daisy. I've researched it without any luck. Thanks a Bunch, Andrea

Yes, after the blooms are spent, a button-like pod is left behind. Let it dry out, then break it open to collect the seeds. As I recall, the seeds look a bit white.
