Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: These daisies perform best in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct light daily to produce those iconic shaggy blooms. While they tolerate partial shade, you will likely notice fewer flowers and stems that tend to flop over as they reach for the light.
Soil: Aim for fertile, well-drained soil that does not stay soggy, as "wet feet" over the winter is the fastest way to lose a Shasta Daisy. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, or plant them in a raised bed to keep the crown above the water line.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Spun Silk daisies twice a week to help the roots knit into the surrounding soil. Once mature, these plants are quite drought-tolerant, though inconsistent moisture during a heatwave can lead to smaller flowers and scorched leaf edges. Aim for deep, infrequent watering at the base of the plant rather than light sprinkles that only dampen the foliage.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so the best time to prune is in early spring just as new growth emerges from the base. Deadheading spent blooms throughout the summer is like giving the plant a second wind because it redirects energy away from seed production and back into creating more flowers. In late autumn, you can cut the stems back to the basal rosette of leaves to keep the garden tidy and prevent pests from overwintering in the old stalks.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as the first green shoots appear to fuel the summer show. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this encourages tender green growth that will not have time to harden off before the first frost. This soft growth acts like an invitation for winter damage and opportunistic garden pests.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Shasta Daisies are tough herbaceous perennials that have the most vigorous growth when grown in full sun. Well-drained soils are best and make sure you provide regular moisture as it's establishing itself in your landscape. After, this hardy plant is quite drought-tolerant, but wet roots will, especially during the winter, will cause an early demise.

A good way to ensure the longest flowering time is to periodically deadhead the spent flowers. This lets the plant focus its energy on making new blossoms for you to enjoy. It is best to prune down the stems and foliage in late autumn after it has turned yellow. Improve vigor by dividing every few years. Not only do you get a healthier plant, you get two healthy plants out of the deal!

Most Vigorous Growth in Full Sun
Moderate Regular Moisture
Appreciates Mulched Beds
Well-Drained Organically Enriched Soil - Dislikes Soggy Winter Soil
Reblooms if Deadheaded - Prune Mounds in Late Autumn
Seldom Damaged By Deer
