watering
When to water: Shasta daisies should be watered when the soil surface begins to feel dry. This is typically once a week. How much to water: For mature plantings, water deeply until the soil is completely saturated. Water until you see the water begin to seep out of the drainage holes in the bottom of your pot or planter. For younger plants, gently press your finger into the soil. If the soil is damp 2 or more inches below the surface, then the plant has already been adequately watered.
sunlight
Shasta daisies prefer to grow in full sun. They need at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day in order to flourish and flower abundantly. They should be placed in a spot that receives direct sunlight in the morning, and some indirect sunlight in the afternoon. The best time for the Shasta daisy to be exposed to sunlight is from early morning to late afternoon. This will ensure that the plant receives enough light to maintain optimal growth levels and stay healthy.
pruning
Shasta daisies should be pruned in early to mid spring. Pruning should consist of cutting back the faded flower stalks and dead leaves to the ground. If the daisy is becoming too large, the whole plant can be cut back to 12 inches. Pruning should be done on a regular basis to keep the plant looking neat and to encourage additional blooms.
