watering
Shasta Daisies should be watered regularly, with about 1 inch of water per week. Water deeply and evenly to ensure that the root system of the daisy gets the moisture it needs. Water should be done in the morning or early afternoon so the leaves have time to dry before nightfall. If the soil around the daisy has become too dry, give the daisy a deep soaking until water runs out of the drainage hole in the pot.
sunlight
Shasta Daisies should receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. This should be scattered throughout the morning, afternoon, and early evening. If possible, a partially shaded area can provide more consistent exposure and better growth conditions.
pruning
Shasta daisies (Leucanthemum superbum 'Wirral Pride') should be pruned back in early spring, just before new growth appears. You should prune off any dead flowers, branches, and foliage that have grown since the daisy bloomed. Leave the stems and foliage that is still growing, as it will provide the support needed for the plant to develop and sustain itself for the summer months. Also, remove any shoots that are growing in the wrong direction or in areas without adequate sunlight. Lastly, trim the stems back by 1 third of their original length, allowing ample room for the new buds and flowers to form.
