Care
Shasta Daisy Care
Plant in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Full sun promotes the strongest stems and the most consistent flowering, though light afternoon shade is tolerated in warmer regions.
Grow in well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Once established, plants handle short dry spells but perform best with evenly moist soil during active growth and bloom.
Fertilization is optional but beneficial in spring to support steady growth and flowering. A light application of slow release fertilizer in early spring is typically sufficient.
Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continued blooming. Cut plants back after flowering or in late fall to maintain a tidy appearance and support healthy regrowth.
