Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily for the best flower production. While these daisies can tolerate some afternoon shade, too little light often leads to weaker stems that may flop over during a heavy rain.
  • Soil: These plants require sharp drainage to prevent root rot, especially during wet winter months. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in finished compost or plant in a slightly raised mound to improve aeration and drainage around the crown.

Watering Requirements

For the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist by providing about one inch of water per week to help the roots establish. Once mature, the Daisy May is quite drought tolerant, but irregular watering during peak summer heat can lead to smaller blooms and scorched leaf edges.

Pruning Tips

Since this variety blooms on new growth and is a repeat bloomer, you should deadhead spent flowers by cutting the stems back to the next lateral bud or leaf. This practice acts like a reset button, preventing the plant from wasting energy on seed production and encouraging a fresh flush of white flowers. In late fall or early spring, cut the entire mound back to two inches above the soil line to clear out old debris and make room for new shoots.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring as soon as you see new green growth emerging from the base. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer season because they stimulate soft, leafy growth that cannot harden off properly before the first frost. This late season surge makes the plant more susceptible to winter kill and pest issues.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Taking care of a Daisy May® is very easy but there are a few simple rules to follow. They thrive in full sun but do appreciate some light shade in regions with hot summers. Planting in soil that drains well is essential as overwatering can be quite harmful to these Daisies, especially during the winter months. When it comes to watering, less is more. Water 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.

  • Radiant in Full Sun, Appreciates Some Afternoon Shade in Hot Zones
  • Moderate Regular Moisture & Appreciates Mulched Beds
  • Dislikes Soggy Winter Soil
  • Any Type of Well-Drained Organic Soil
  • Deadhead For Rebloom & Prune Late Autumn
