#ProPlantTips for Care:

Shasta Daisy needs full sun for the most blooms and the best vigor. Plant in any kind of enriched, organic well-drained soil with moderate, but regular moisture access. Provide 3-4 inches of mulch around the crown over the root system, but not piled on the crown or you may choke out the growth. Darling Daisy™ must be deadheaded for the best-continuous bloom, and prune the mound back clean in fall as soon as the foliage turns yellow. Divide the clumps every few years to maintain vigorous growth.

Any Type of Well-Drained Organic Soil
