shasta daisy

Shasta daisies should be watered once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. To water your Shasta daisy, apply about 1 inch of water to the soil around the plant. This will ensure that the plant’s roots will be evenly saturated. Too much water can cause the roots to rot and the leaves to yellow, so it’s important to be careful not to overwater. You can also test the soil moisture by sticking a finger down several inches or using a soil moisture meter. If the soil feels dry the shasta daisy needs water.

Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum superbum 'Silberprinzesschen' LITTLE PRINCESS) should be placed in an area where it will get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the hottest summer months, some protection from afternoon sun can be beneficial as the plant can be sensitive to extreme heat. It is important to note, however, that these plants will typically bloom much more if they are given adequate access to direct sunlight. Therefore, if you're looking to get the most of these beautiful flowers, choosing an area in your garden or yard with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight is the best way to go.

Shasta daisy 'LITTLE PRINCESS' (Leucanthemum superbum) should be pruned once a year in early spring. Cut off any dead or unhealthy-looking flower stalks, then prune back the remaining stems by 1-third to 1-half their size. If the plants have become too woody and leggy, prune them back to within 8 inches of the original crown. Deadheading of the flowers throughout the growing season will also help to encourage re-blooming.
