Proper year-end care is crucial for a bountiful supply of rayed blooms, including cutting back Shasta daisies. During the spring and summer growing season, pinch off dead flowers with fingers or garden shears to create new ones. Trim Shasta daisies immediately after blooming, using sharp pruning shears and disinfecting them before and after each use. Regularly cut back leggy growth in potted Shasta Daisies for a full appearance.
The only pruning Shasta daisies need is cutting the stems back to the base in the fall after they are finished blooming. The best way to propagate these plants is by division, which will not only produce more plants but also increase the lifespan of Shasta daisies. Divide the plant every two years in the spring or fall.
Treating Shasta daisies in the fall is essential to encourage new growth, flowers, and a neater garden appearance. Deadheading spent blooms throughout the growing season promotes repeat blooming and limits self-growth. If the plant is getting leggy and floppy, cutting back might be appropriate, but it may take longer to get blooms back. Deadheading your Shasta Daisy plant is essential to encourage it to bloom all summer and into the fall.
