Lindsay Wegert Zone 7a VA left a comment for Patti Raithel Z5/6"Hi Patti!
Thanks for your compliment on our vase fountain.
It makes not only the homeowners happy (us), but the wildlife, also. It wasn't hard to do. Just took planning and time."
buckbuchan Z5/6 KCMO left a comment for Patti Raithel Z5/6"Patti, These are a clients' daisies. From the looks of the crown they must have been there at least 5 to 7 years. I would only divide them if they seemed to be struggling or if you simply wanted more plants. I think next year I will cut them…"
buckbuchan Z5/6 KCMO left a comment for Patti Raithel Z5/6"Patti, All I can say is it seems logical to me to cut them low where the stalks are thick but not all the way to the ground. Cut too high and the side blooms are whimpy like peony deadheading. In a mass I'm going to try cutting back one-third…"
Patti Raithel Z5/6 commented on buckbuchan Z5/6 KCMO's blog post Shasta Daisy: Cut back faded flower stems to what height?"I want to know that same thing, my shasta daisy's didn't have a good year. We had a hard rain and they fell over, so I cut them way back but so far no more blooms. Bummer, so maybe someone can help us...."

- Patti, These are a clients' daisies. From the looks of the crown they must have been there at least 5 to 7 years. I would only divide them if they seemed to be struggling or if you simply wanted more plants. I think next year I will cut them back to about 10-12" tall for a stronger stalk. Buck

- Patti, All I can say is it seems logical to me to cut them low where the stalks are thick but not all the way to the ground. Cut too high and the side blooms are whimpy like peony deadheading. In a mass I'm going to try cutting back one-third of the plants in a logical pattern 9" from the ground then come back and cut back the next one-third and so on. Buck

Kathi Willis - Asheville, NC said… - Thank you Patti! Yes, all these flowers are ours. We have really lucked out by planting mostly perenials a number of years ago so they don't require much tending accept a few minutes cleaning up when the blooms are spent and the occasional fertilizing or spraying for bugs. The large quantity of time spent is in the winter cleaning out the dead and early spring weeding. We sit in the garden every night to look, smell the fragrance and destress. Kathi
