Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings for best results.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back the plant by about a third after the main flowering period to promote bushier growth and prepare it for the next season.
Easily propagated from seed sown in early spring, or by division of established clumps in autumn or early spring. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist potting mix.
Alpine oxeye daisies generally do not require frequent repotting. If the plant becomes pot-bound or the soil is depleted, repot in spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
