Tips for Care:
Shasta Daisies are hardy, low-maintenance perennials that do best when grown in full sun but can tolerate some afternoon shade (at the cost of the number of blooms), and grow best in well-drained soil. It’s recommended to water Daisy plants weekly when rainfall is less than an inch, but they will not tolerate excessive moisture or soggy soil in the winter.
Provide a good layer of mulch, at least 3-4 inches around the roots, especially in drier climates, and enrich the soil with plenty of humus and compost. Remove faded flower heads to encourage more blooms and prune the clumps back in late fall when the foliage yellows. Daisy clumps can be divided every few years to promote better growth and vigor.
