MY FLOWER FOR TO-DAY THE SHASTA DAISY

in shasta •  5 years ago 

These beautiful flowers really brighten up any garden.
Plant them in any sunny spot in well-drained, compost-enriched soil.
They'll tolerate a little shade, but tend to become 'leggy' with not enough direct sun.

Deadheading Daisies and other varieties is a good idea.
Deadheading daisies not only improves their overall appearance but will also inhibit seed production and stimulate new growth, which encourages additional blooms.
By deadheading regularly, you can extend the flowering season.

This pretty plant with its perky blooms is a hardy perennial that will come back even after freezing winters.
Even though the plant is a perennial, it is quite short lived.
Many only last just a few years.

Well-watered Shasta daisies consistently wilting during the heat of the day may be the victims of root-knot nematodes. These microscopic roundworms invade and feed on daisy roots, causing root galls that entice bacterial and fungal invasion when they burst.
Infested daisies yellow and gradually weaken.
