How to Take Care of a Daisy Flower

Daisies are beautiful and easy-to-grow flowers that can add a touch of cheer to any garden. With proper care, they can bloom for weeks or even months. Here are a few tips on how to take care of a daisy flower:

Daisies prefer well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Plant them in a location where they will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Space the plants 6-8 inches apart.

Water daisies regularly, especially during hot weather. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Fertilize daisies every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Follow the directions on the fertilizer package.

Deadheading, or removing spent blooms, will encourage new blooms to form. Deadhead daisies by cutting off the flower stem at the base.

In cold climates, daisies will need to be protected from frost. Mulch around the plants with straw or compost. You can also cover the plants with a cloth or blanket on nights when frost is expected.
