Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Aim for at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun every day. Full sun is essential for the brightest yellow color and prevents the stems from becoming leggy or leaning toward the light.
  • Soil: Choose a spot with well drained soil enriched with organic matter. If you deal with heavy clay, plant in a raised mound or add compost to improve drainage because sitting in soggy soil over winter will rot the roots.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, check the soil daily and water whenever the top inch feels dry to the touch. Once the root system is established, these daisies become quite drought tolerant and only need a deep soaking during extended dry spells. Consistent moisture is still better for flower production, as underwatering often leads to yellowing lower leaves and smaller blooms.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so you should deadhead spent flowers throughout the summer to encourage a second flush of yellow blooms. In late autumn or very early spring, cut the entire plant back to 3 inches above the ground. Think of this like a fresh start that clears out old stems and allows the crown to push out vigorous new growth.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as you see the first green shoots emerging. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers in late summer because this triggers soft growth that will not have time to harden off before winter. A single spring application provides the nutrients needed to support the heavy bloom cycle without overwhelming the plant.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hardy through USDA growing zones 5 - 9, Shasta Daisies are tough perennials that have the most vigorous growth when grown in full sun. Well-drained soils are best and you'll want to make sure you're giving it medium moisture as it's establishing itself in your landscape. 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. This lets the plant focus its energy on making new blossoms for you to enjoy. This plant does best if pruned down in late autumn. Improve vigor by dividing every few years and you get a healthier plant and, oh wait, you get two healthier plants out of the deal! Doesn't get much better than that.

  • 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
