HELP PLEASE.  How do I get daisies and dandelions to grow in my grass?HELP PLEASE. How do I get daisies and dandelions to grow in my grass? There is currently none  

Answer 1

Wow  someone wanting daisies and dandelions in their lawn! So refreshing  think it's the first time I've ever seen this  just keep an eye out for dandelions on your daily walk/exercise and grab one when it goes to seed. Scatter the seed over your lawn. Not sure about daisies though.

@milissa it first food for the bees, as they come out in the spring. New studies are finding that the yellow draws them to it, and helps them start of the year strong and healthy. Without bees the world is worse off

---

@graveyard yes  I have a nice crop of dandelions on my allotment  and in my front garden.  

---

I love dandions in my lawn. food for my tortoises!  

---

@graveyard agree yes, and. without bees, our pollinators we would lose valuable crops

Answer 2

I wish I had this problem - I’m overrun with dandelions!  

Comments

@dozen bees love them  

Answer 3

They usually grow naturally

Answer 4

Stop using fertilizer that kills them.  

Comments

@graveyard and don't cut the grass too often.  

---

@intorsion yes correct

I stopped fertilizing a area so they will grow again. So bees have food in spring. This year i will not put down and that will kill them

We moved in 18 months again and have only ever cut it but thank you

Answer 12

I found some daisies on waste land and naughtily took a tiny bit with root. Planted in my lawn. 3 years down the line i had a lawn full of lovely daisies. I am not telling you to do this. Its illegal

Comments

@randirandie4 illegal?! Really ? Lol

---

It is if you take anything off land that's not yours also if you take for example flowers from the road side lol

---

@racoon true people take cuttings left right and centre but it is against the law. Like planting non indigenous plants in woods etc because it messes with the eco system.  

---

Yep. Not allowed to dig up wildflowers/plants in this country i believe

Answer 13

Let your grass grow.  

Answer 14

Can have some of ours :)

Answer 15

This is my prized patch of daises. I went to my local woodland walk and dug up a single daisy with its roots. Then I transplanted it in my lawn. Two years later and I have a little patch that is the pride of my garden.  

Answer 16

If you want to be sure of daisies it's probably best to buy seeds (Yes you can do that ) cut your lawn , take a rake to it in patches and scratch hard so some of the grass comes away and you have some bare patches , scatter the seed and water . As another comment said , don't feed your lawn if you want wild flowers , I have lots of daisies , clover and dandelions in my lawn , it's never been fed and I always leave a few patches to grow while i'm mowing .  

Answer 17

Wot! most people wud try to get rid of them!  

Answer 18

I love mine! My lawn is clover, Daisy’s and dandelions. bees  are so happy during summer. You can buy seeds off amazon. give it a go!  

Answer 19

Someone was asking how to stop this problem yesterday!  Personally, I think they look lovely. Find some in someone else’s garden and blow the seeds over yours!  

Answer 20

@rant93106 I’ve just been out sneakily pulling some up but I left plenty for the bees  

Answer 22

This one set up home in one of my pots. Bees love them.  

Answer 23

Get my kid to blow the seeds everywhere.  

Answer 24

Grab some from local fild n blow them over ur grass

Answer 25

Just don't cut the grass let it grow them give it a cut late summer you will be surprised what will grow when you don't cut it

Answer 26

I'm not sure about encouraging dandelions however your choice! If you leave it & reduce the number of times you mow the lawn this should see clover & daisies flowering & encouraging bees

Answer 27

Seriously? I’ve just spent most of the morning ripping mine out  

Comments

@boatman672 me too  

Answer 28

Hi. I think the daisies and dandelions will naturally grow in your lawn over a period of time. I, m all for a natural lawn( none of this fake grass in a roll). Before each cut of the lawn, I will see green grass with lots of daisies, dandelions, buttercup an clover all mixed into the grass naturally. Luv it.  

Answer 29

Dandelions are so healthy to eat. The whole of it

Answer 30

Live across from someone who doesnt do their garden they will blow in lol

Answer 31

God knows, but I’m quite good at it  

Answer 32

Just for reference for those interested. Far better options that are greater food sources for bees.
