Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant from spring to early autumn in full sun, 40–50 cm apart. Add compost to the planting hole and lighten heavy clay with sand, as Shasta daisies dislike standing water.
Watering and feeding. Water after planting and during long dry spells. Feed in spring with compost or a perennial fertiliser; too much nitrogen makes stems flop.
Care. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Tall stems may need support. Cut stems back near the ground in autumn.
Gardener's tip. Divide the clump every 3–4 years in spring; rejuvenated plants flower more freely and stay compact.
