painted daisy
Tanacetum coccineum
Painted daisy (Tanacetum coccineum) is a herbaceous perennial from the Asteraceae family. It is native to the Caucasus Mountains and northwestern Iran. The plant has pinkish-red, daisy-like flowering heads, which appear from late spring to early summer. The flowers are about 2-3 cm wide and contrast nicely with its finely-textured, velvety foliage. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun, and requires little maintenance apart from deadheading and trimmed in late autumn or early spring. When planted in masses, painted daisy is an eye-catching and low maintenance ground cover that will make any garden more beautiful.

watering
Painted daisy should be watered deeply but infrequently. Aim to water once a week for mature plants, and 2 to 3 times a week for newly planted specimens. When watering, saturate the soil to a depth of 8 inches. Watering should take place in the morning to give the foliage time to dry before evening. During the peak of summer, watering may need to be increased, particularly if the plants are showing signs of wilting during the heat of the day.
sunlight
Painted Daisy plants require a minimum of 8 hours of direct sunlight every day to thrive. In warmer climates, such as USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 8, they prefer 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily and some dappled afternoon shade. In areas with hotter summers and mild winters, they should be planted in an area that has full sun in the morning and dappled afternoon shade. When planted in the right spot, Painted Daisies will be able to take advantage of the sunlight to grow and flower beautifully.
pruning
The best way to prune a Painted Daisy is to do it in early spring before new growth emerges. This is done by pruning off any dead or damaged stems and cutting the plant back to a shorter height to promote a bushier shape. Aim to remove no more than 1-third of the plant’s canopy with each pruning session. Be sure to use sharp, clean pruners, and make neat cuts just above a node or bud. Additionally, if the plant has grown too wide, tip prune it - which is the process of pinching off the growing tips of individual stems. This will keep the plant spreading, rather than growing taller.
