Plant Care

Snowcap Shasta Daisies are remarkably easy to maintain. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, they are drought tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and prevent self-seeding. In late fall, cut back stems to ground level. Apply a layer of compost in spring to promote healthy growth.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 12-18 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. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. For container growing, use a pot with drainage holes and high-quality potting mix.
