shasta daisy

Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum 'Macaroon') should be watered consistently to keep their soil evenly moist. Depending on the weather conditions and the size of the pot, you will need to water your Shasta daisies once or twice a week. During hot summer days, your Shasta daisy may need an extra drink of water. To avoid over-watering, check the soil by sticking your finger an inch down into the pot. If the soil is dry, water the plant deeply until water runs down out of the bottom of the pot. Avoid getting water on the foliage, as wet leaves can promote fungal diseases.

Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum 'Macaroon') is best grown in full sun for 6-8 hours per day in a location that has good air circulation. They require at least 2 large periods of direct sunshine each day, generally from mid-morning to late afternoon for optimal flowering. They will tolerate partial shade but will require more watering in hotter climates if not receiving maximum sunlight during peak hours.

Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum 'Macaroon') should be pruned lightly in early spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning should involve removal of dead or damaged stems, along with cutting back of stems after flowers have faded. This will help to promote a compact shape and encourage new flowers to form. Additionally, flower heads should be deadheaded, as they age, to extend blooming period and prevent self-seeding.
