Becky Shasta Daisies are remarkably low-maintenance plants that thrive with minimal attention. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. Cut back stems to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide plants every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
