Easy to grow and exceptionally hardy, the Giant Daisy is a fantastic, long-lasting cut flower and remains a firm favourite for its bright, uncomplicated beauty and ability to attract butterflies.

Gardener's Tip: Dividing and Deadheading for Vigor

To ensure your Giant Daisies remain vigorous and produce the largest blooms year after year, regular maintenance is key. Deadhead spent flowers immediately after they fade to encourage new blooms and prevent self-seeding. More importantly, as a perennial, the Shasta Daisy benefits from division every 3 to 4 years. In early spring or autumn, lift the established clump, discard the woody, older centre, and replant the vigorous, younger pieces from the outside. This rejuvenates the plant, ensuring large, healthy flowers for many more seasons.
