JOE'S TOP TIP

Deadhead faded flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout summer. Leave a few seed heads at the end of the season if you'd like to attract birds and allow natural self-seeding.

⚠️

COMMON MISTAKE

Most people struggle with Shasta Daisies by planting them in poorly drained soil or forgetting to deadhead, which shortens the flowering season.
