Growing Gloriosa Daisy From Seed: Sow Gloriosa Daisy seeds outdoors any time in the late fall or as early in the spring as the ground can be cultivated. Prepare soil by loosening the top 1 - 2 inches and removing any weeds. Sow the Rudbeckia Hirta seeds into the loosened soil and rake in. Walk over the area to gently press the flower seeds into the soil. Keep the Gloriosa Daisy seeds moist until germination. The Gloriosa Daisy seedlings transplant well and should be spaced 12 - 18 inches apart. The Rudbeckia Hirta plants form a clump that will reach 12 inches in width.
