watering
Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum 'Starburst') requires regular watering to remain healthy and flourish. The best way to water this plant species is by watering deeply but infrequently. Water your Shasta daisy consistently every 7 to 10 days, providing about 1 inch of water each time. Check the soil for moisture before each watering. Usually, if the top 1 inch of soil is dry, it is time to water. However, if the temperature has been especially high, or if the soil is very light and sandy, more frequent waterings may be required. During hot, dry weather, Shasta daisy may need to be watered up to 2 times per week.
sunlight
Shasta daisies need full sunlight for at least 4-6 hours per day in order to thrive and bloom. They can tolerate slight shade during hot midday sun, but can also adapt to growing in an area with bright shade, in that case they should be given at least 6 to 8 hours of bright indirect sunlight. In general, it is best to find a spot in the garden that gets a few hours of direct sunlight in the morning and some indirect sunlight in the afternoon.
pruning
Shasta daisy should be pruned in mid to late spring, once the blooms have faded. This can be done by cutting the stems back to just above the foliage line or removing any dead or damaged stems. When pruning, make sure to not cut too low or too close to the base of the plant, as this may affect its health. After pruning, it is a good idea to fertilize your Shasta daisy and to water it regularly.
