shasta daisy

Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum maximum 'Leumayel' Broadway Lights) should be watered once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. For outdoor plants, 1 inch of water should be applied each week; for plants grown in containers, provide enough water to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Apply water at the root zone of the plant, avoiding getting the foliage wet. Water in the morning to let the foliage dry before evening.

Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum maximum 'Leumayel' BROADWAY LIGHTS) prefers full sunlight, meaning 6 or more hours of direct sunlight, and partial or moderate sun for the remainder of the day. This plant is best suited in climates with hot and dry summers, as it's able to tolerate a large amount of sun. If we're talking about a milder climate, this plant can still thrive with 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight and 2 to 3 hours of partial sun each day. Keep in mind that if you are positioning this plant in partial shade or other cooler environments, it will need more frequent watering.

Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum maximum 'Leumayel' BROADWAY LIGHTS) should be pruned annually in late fall and early spring. Before pruning, dead, damaged, disease-ridden or otherwise unhealthy stems should be removed. To encourage strong, dense growth, tip prune in early spring. Cut 1/3 of the old, woody stems back to promote additional growth and flowering. Deadheading spent flowers throughout the summer will also help to keep the plant looking its best. Finally, in late fall, cut back the entire plant to about 6-10 inches before the ground starts to freeze. This encourages strong re-growth in the spring.
