Water
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during active growth. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly in cooler weather or when the plant is dormant.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during active growth. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly in cooler weather or when the plant is dormant.
Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous flowering and prevent self-seeding if undesired.
Prune lightly in late winter to remove any dead or damaged stems.
Garland Daisy is easily grown from seed, sown directly into the garden in early spring or autumn, or started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Seeds germinate quickly in warm, moist soil.
Cuttings can also be taken in summer.
This is an annual or short-lived perennial, typically grown from seed each year.
If grown in containers and overwintering is attempted, repot in early spring into fresh, well-draining potting mix before new growth begins. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger.
