Nippon daisy

Nippon daisies should be watered regularly and deeply. During the summer months, water them at least once a week and ensure that the soil is moist at all times. During the cooler months, water them less frequently, about once every 10-14 days. When in doubt, it's better to underwater rather than overwater for this species. Soil should not be kept saturated as this will promote root rot. When watering, use just enough to saturate the soil down to a depth of several inches.

Nippon daisy plants need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day and thrive best with 8 to 10 hours of sunlight. During the morning and early afternoon, the sun is at its strongest, making this the ideal time for Nippon daisy plants to receive their sunlight. During the hottest part of the day, the sun can be too intense for most plants and may cause sunburns. To protect your Nippon daisy from the harsh sunlight, it is best to place it in a location that receives morning sun and shade during the afternoon.

Nippon daisy can be pruned once per year when the plant has gone through dormancy in late winter, usually around January or February. Remove faded and dead blooms as well as any diseased or overcrowded stems. Cutting back the plant to just above the lower foliage will promote healthy growth. During the early stages of pruning, use hand shears to clip the foliage and a pair of lopping shears to remove any larger growth. Care should be taken to avoid cutting back more than 1-third of the stems as this can stress the plant.
