Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Plant your Marshmallow Daisies in full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct light daily. While they tolerate light afternoon shade, total sun exposure ensures the sturdiest stems and the highest density of fluffy, double-petaled blooms.
  • Soil: These daisies prefer rich, well-drained soil that doesn't hold standing water. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or plant them in a slightly raised mound to improve drainage and prevent crown rot during winter.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your daisies twice a week to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once established, these plants are quite drought-tolerant, but providing an inch of water per week during mid-summer heat prevents the flowers from drooping or maturing too quickly. Inconsistent watering often results in smaller blooms and yellowing lower leaves as the plant tries to conserve energy.

Pruning Tips

Since Shasta Daisies bloom on new wood produced during the current season, you should deadhead spent flowers throughout the summer. Removing old blooms prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production and encourages a second flush of white flowers. Think of it like a haircut that keeps the plant looking tidy and energized rather than letting it go to seed and become "leggy."

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new green growth begins to emerge from the ground. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this stimulates soft, tender growth that won't be hardy enough to survive the first hard freeze. A single application of a general-purpose 10-10-10 formula provides all the nutrients needed for a full season of heavy blooming.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These upright perennials benefit from full sun for the strongest stems. When planted in warmer Marshmallow appreciates some partial shade in the afternoons. Shasta Daisies are tough herbaceous perennials that have the most vigorous growth when grown in any fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Mulch well to retain moisture and insulate the roots. After that though, this hardy plant is quite drought-tolerant. Incessantly wet roots will, especially during the winter, can cause some damage.

A good way to ensure the longest flowering time is to periodically deadhead the spent flowers. 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, but you (or a friend or neighbor) also get two healthy plants out of the deal!

  • Most Compact Growth in Full Sun
  • Moderate Regular Moisture - Appreciates Mulched Beds
  • Well-Drained Organically Enriched Soil - Dislikes Soggy Winter Soil

  • Seldom Damaged By Deer - Easy Care & Low Maintenance
